Google Search Result showing noindex/nofollow pages

Hi,
I am having an issue regarding some of the pages on my website, Google search is showing pages which has noindex/nofollow attributes in the search result.
All of these pages listed below has noindex and nofollow meta tags on it.
Any suggestion will be appriciated,
Thanks!

They are only suggestions, Google can ignore them.
If you have them linked many times on your site then Google considers these high levels of interest. These will likely be in your sitemap as well. You need to hide them from search engines by ticking the option on the page and further actions like robots.txt if you want to take it further.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Google search results shows no thumbnail images in Firefox as compared to IE or Chrome.

When doing a google search, I see no thumbnail images for things like youtube video's or an image that would typically come from authority site. Is there a setting in FireFox that is inhibiting this?
Compared to IE or Chrome which does shows a little image in Google search results.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open first google search result in a new page?

I would like to go to the first result of a google search easily, as I do in Chorme. In Chrome you can click TAB to hi-light the first result's link, then with a click open it. In Firefox, I can't do this, because if I click on TAB it will require me a lots of clicks to reach the first results.
I am using the apostrophe and the keyboard to search within the links of the page.
My goal is to open the first link without moving my hands from the keyboard.

I apologize in advance if this information from the Windows platform is not applicable to Mac:
If you have not disabled Instant Prediction results... After your results load, when you press the down arrow key on the keyboard, a blue triangle should appear to the left of the first result. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move between results, and open a result by pressing the Enter key.
It doesn't seem to work on page 2 of the results for the search for some reason. ''However, if I press the Tab key once on that page, then the blue triangle appears and I can use the up and down arrow keys. This inconsistency is strange...''
Some users have reported that logging into your Google account disables this feature, but I haven't noticed that myself.

Why do columns in Google Search results show on top of each other

Columns over print each other when I get results in a Google Search. This does not happen when I do the same search in Safari browser only when I use Mozilla/Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Has been doing this for months

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

Google search results acting are not showing up right after FF update

So after I updated FF from 12 to 13 my Google search results have been weird whether I search from the homepage, tool bar or from Google.com. For example if I were to search " Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki" you would expect the Wikipedia page for the show to be the first result but this is what ends up showing up:
[http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8020/firefoxproblem2.jpg Image of search results]
But if I were to search in Private Browsing mode this is what I get:
[http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9794/firefoxproblem.jpg Private browsing search]
Same search yet it yields to different results and I tried it in IE and Chrome and the search is working just fine in both of those as well. The problem seems to only be when I search for something in FF normally.
If anyone can shed some light into why this is happening I would be grateful, since I prefer FF to anything else.

you could try to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from google.com]] and reload the page.

i did not install anything. but my dropdowns and expand (+ button) on google search results page just stopped working.
http://img.skitch.com/20090923-dg6mg9heppis5y9iynaetdsdws.jpg
on this above image -
- i cannot expans "show options?
- i cannot see settings dropdown in the top right hand corner
all this works in firefox. stopped working in safari.
i have safari 4.0.3 installed.
10.6.1 OS.
anybody else have this problem?
found a solution?

strangely enough, dropdowns on maps search page works.
i am totally lost as to why this could be happening.
i have glims-beta for safari 64bit installed. could it be due to glims?

Wep app search result show on the same product page(product large view).

I tried the web app search result show on the same product page.
e.g checking the postcode which built as web app on the product page, to check availability to ship the user's area.
so the result show on the same page(doesn't necessary to lose the product page), however the web app result doesn't show on the same product page.
There is only way i know is to link another page.
Anyone has done?

I have done something similar with simple jquery, by loading the results page within a div placed inside the details template.
By doing this I solved all my needs. In your case will work too as long as you only need to show information.

Flickr pages and Google search result pages are smaller

When I go to a Flickr page or a Google search result page, the entire page is smaller. Content is the same, but the fonts and images are smaller.

To start with, try pressing holding down Ctrl and then pressing 0 ( Zero). That will reset your zoom if you have zoomed out.

Can't read Google search results page - no zoom

I can't remember if it was always this way or not. - but the old two finger zoom trick doesn't work
is there anyway to zoom Google search results on iPhones
Im having to use mag glass - and I have 20/20 vision

You're wrong and I'll tell you why. All handset companies like Palm have relations with Google, i.e. they have to work together to create a local Google Maps program.
But the big reason why you are wrong is Palm made this device a web based phone and from the get go made all aspects of the phone able to sync to all things Google. Google has no obligation to do anything for WebOS users but Palm does and should use their relationship with Google to make sure things work for us or provide a solution of their own.

[Solved] Conkeror google search results mode

Hey,
I've been using conkeror for some time now and I really enjoy
conkeror's support for mouseless browsing. In google search mode
Conkeror allows you to use 1-9 to select a link in your google search
results. However, when I want to look at a second page of search
results, I reach the mouse to do that (since the follow
command in the google search mode only shows numbers to your search
results). But that doesn't seem very efficient. So, what I'm wondering
if any of you know how I can select another page of search results
without having to reach the mouse (while in the google search mode).
I've looked at Conkeror's website about the google search mode but I
couldn't find any info about that there. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yup, have this line in your rc:

Substitute "O" with whichever key you like.
That works beautifully. That will make my life much better
I've also noticed that if you change "next" for "previous" you can
also see previous pages.
Another related question: after you do a google search and you want to
change your previous query (e.g., add a word to your previous search), do you know of a
way of doing that without using the mouse? (again, f here has a
similar problem in the google search mode).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''
