Google search link gives me an error 404

Firefox 4.6.18. Last night when I typed a search into the firefox supplied google search box I received the message error 404(not found)!!1. Since this is a google supplied link it should have no problem with the address. I have just completed an scan on system with norton 360, malwarebytes and superantispyware and nothing came up.

Firefox manages its own cookies, so clearing the IE cookies won't have any effect.

  • Bookmarks pick up most recent google search and give me an error page

    Started just recently, after an upgrade: I use the google tool bar and when I click on one of the buttons (essentially a bookmark) Firefox automatically tags on to the bookmarked URL the most recent google search. For instance http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=analytics.blogspot.com&q=firefox&submit=Go
    This doesn't happen in Safari or Chrome, so I don't think it's a google issue. I have to close Firefox and re-start it in order to lose the unwanted tail on my bookmark. Ideas?

    It may be Kaspersky intercepting your secure connection to Gmail.
    Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled to verify if this is the case.
    Do you see this problem with other secure sites too?

    thank you

    I am not sure what you want. Do you want to open links in a new
    tab / window, or the same window you are in?
    Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Check the settings under''' Tabs'''

  • Google Search Link Redirect

    I might be paranoid, but i just did a google search for a website and was redirected to another site after clicking on the google search link.
    I tried going directly to the website by typing the name in the browser and it worked fine. A did a google search again for the same wesbsite, clicked on the link like before, and it worked fine like normal. Other google searches seem to be fine.
    Do I have something to worry about as far as malware or viruses on my computer, or is it possible google, or the website I was trying to go to, is infected? Or, is it nothing?
    I would really appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks.

    I would not be to worried about it, perhaps a glitch in the search engine. You could reset Safari if that is the browser you use, just read the list of items it resets and make sure you are happy to remove that information.

  • Dead Google Search Links in Safari

    After making a Google search, I hit the 'back' button, only to find all of the links on the page frozen. This happens ALL the time in my Safari Google searches. Is anybody experiencing a similar issue?
    For example:
    1) I search "Martin Luther King" in Google (typing into the Google search box in the Safari toolbar).
    2) Google shows the search results.
    3) I click on an item to read it.
    4) After reading the article, I hit the 'back' button to return to my search.
    5) None of the search results are clickable. They're all dead. Not a single link on the page works. (Control-click does nothing, either)
    This happens on a daily basis, with nearly all of my Google searches.
    I have done many re-sets of Safari caches, etc. This incredibly frustrating problem continues.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • What configuration is needed in tab utilities for firefox 5 lite to get google search links to open in a new window?

    I have installed tab utilities lite, when I select some links (i.e. the ask questions button in this site) I get new tabs, but when I open the google search results links, the link opens in the existing tab.
    What config is required to get the google links to open in a new tab?

    This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

  • Using the Adobe Reader Distribution Agreement link results in an error 404

    I have a current Distribution Agreement for Reader etc but the link to download Reader results in an error 404 - Sorry, this page is not available.

    Hi Ben,
    Thanks for the response. I would have posted a link but as part of the distribution agreement it is not to be shared/posted.
    I already have a current distribution agreement so the Volume distribution page does not help.
    From the Enterprise Toolkit Home I accessed ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ and was able to download from /pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/en_US so thanks for the link.
    Still does not fix the 404 error though on the distribution download link http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/runtime-distribution3.html#?????-???? (sanitised).

  • Lately, for some reason, whenever I click on a Google search link, I get redirected. Why? What can I do to fix this?

    So far, I only have trouble with redirection after Google searches.

    I run a search on google.com and click on a link that comes up near the bottom of the page, After I read it and then use the back arrow (pointing left) to return to the searches it takes me to the top of the page to the first link google found rather than the link I just looked at.

  • Database Link gives Ora-12535 error

    I have Oracle 9i Release 2 on NT 4 box. I am attempting to connect to an Oracle 8i Database via a database link. I am able to connect to the database using my username and password throught Toad. I can see the tables that I am trying to query through the link. I have tested the service through the Oracle Net Manager and it was successful. Anytime I try to use the database link, I get the "ORA-12535 TNS: Operation timed out" message. Does anyone know if this is a bug in Oracle 9i Release 2 since the link worked in Oracle 9i Release 1? Is there a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks a lot for this nice solution. In fact I had to add the connection parameters into the tnsnames.ora file of the server on which the link was created (not the tnsnames.ora of my oracle client stored on the localhost)
    After a bit googling I found another solution that allows to create the database link:
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING '(DESCRIPTION =  (ADDRESS_LIST =  (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY=tcp.world)

  • Red blue yellow lines in safari under Google search links

    when I look up something on Google under each link I see red yellow blue colors in safari it's really annoying how do I turn it off

    It's hard to tell without a screenshot, but this may be font substitution by a bad font. If you have added fonts to your system with a CYR or SLAV in their name, try removing them.

  • Google search links, always open in a new tab

    Is there a way to have links open in the same tab?

    Thanks again.
    Copy and paste would be easier. :)
    I don't understand why they can't add a setting allowing the user to choose in which mode to open external links.

  • Google searches produce no results, only a blank page w 404 error messages

    When turning on computer I can get a search result list, but clicking anywhere leads to blank 404 error page. Future searches do not even produce a search result, just the blank 404. Curiously, the links (when I can get them) can be opened for viewing via the Cool Iris frame. I have 2006 HP w windows XP. Problem occurred week ago after I clicked a Google search link to some PDF green fact sheet (Cal Berkeley) which was preceded by a large 75% screen grey box which could NOT be shut. I tried control panel & document search features to locate & remove, unsuccessfully. However, hours later that box finally disappeared, but I haven't been able to use Google since?!

    Good day.
    Can try the steps in this document?

  • When I do a Google search Firefox will not connect me to the links. The only way for me to connect to the listed pages is to right click on the link and open in a new tab or window. I have reinstalled Firefox and the issue still remains.

    I run windows 7 on a Gateway FX6000 series computer. This issue has been going on for some time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There are not any malware programs on my machine according to the scans I have run using Ad-Aware. If I use another browser I can connect to Google search links with no problems.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
