Modify google search redirection after bypassing untrusted connection warning

'''The problem:''' my default google search is redirected to google home, i.e. the 1st search is lost, I cannot perform it through google search engine bar (to the right of location bar), and I can only do this through the web page.
'''How we got here:''' I was getting a "connection untrusted" message (see [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/This%20connection%20is%20untrusted?s=security+certificates&r=3&as=s#w_bypassing-the-warning This connection is untrusted] ) for some open tabs with google searches I had from previous sessions. So, I thought I would get rid of them by creating an exception for Google. Instead, every search I do through a bar is redirected right away to Google home page (ie. instead of ignoring the certificate and keep loading the page, firefox redirects me to www.google.com, this way cutting the search next to it).
'''Actions I've taken:''' I resolved the problem for the location bar by modifying the about:config "keyword.URL", by setting a string (say "https://www.google.com/search?q=")
'''Current status:''' However, this doesn't change the status of the '''Google search engine bar''' to the right of the location bar. In short, the '''"default"''' is still hurt and I need to trace it and fix it not to redirect.
'''Question:''' Where can I find and delete the redirection I created while dealing with the "untrusted connection" message?

'''Thanks!''' I found it and deleted it!
I'm now back in the "connection untrusted" situation, but at least there is no automatic redirection and I can work this out in peace...

Not given the option to bypass untrusted connection warning

When using Firefox on my company laptop for work, i get the untrusted connection error message when trying to enter many of the internal services such as the HR portal, Travel&Expense Report app, etc. Normally, I would just click 'I understand these risks' and add an exception, as I have done before and as your published help article suggests. However, for these sites the 'I understand these risks' option does not even appear and so I have no way to bypass this error message and access necessary sites for my job. Is there an alternative way to bypass this, or a way to temporarily turn off the service entirely so I am not stopped by the warning? What can I do to resolve this issue?
Thank you

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

Lately I've been getting Google searches redirected instead of going directly to the website that's supposedly linked through Google. In addition, I occasionally get a new tab opened in Firefox that asks me if I want to take a questionnaire.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

Disabling untrusted connection warning, or adding issuer without certificate?

I am using Firefox (20) in an environment where I am required to use a proxy to access any external websites, and the proxy has recently been changed in such a manner that it now intercepts HTTPS requests and seems to reissue the certificates from a new identity.
This means that every page I visit that uses HTTPS shows the 'untrusted connection' warning page. I can, of course, add exceptions - but I don't want to have to do this for every secure page (and every subdomain, including those only used for serving up images or stylesheets, etc).
Is there any way to.. disable the warning page? Add an exception for "*"? Add the identity that the certificates are being reissued under to my trusted list (I don't have access to the certificate file)?
Neither Chrome or IE exhibit this behaviour under the same conditions.
NB: Troubleshooting info attached is from a different computer.

You will have to acquire the root certificate of this proxy and install it in Firefox to prevent such an untrusted message.<br />
If you have this certificate in IE or Google Chrome then export it and import in Firefox.<br />
You can inspect the certificate chain in those browser to see how they link it to a built-in root certificate.<br />
You need to set the trust bit to trust this certificate for web pages.

I keep getting an "untrusted connection" warning for nearly every url including my banks and have to go through the "confirm exception" etc steps. How can I keep having to go through this?????

I keep getting the untrusted connection warning and have to go thru all these freaking steps to get access and it happens OVER and OVER again for the EXACT same sites. One example is below citibank.com. MY BANK. EVERY TIME.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.citibank.com

Hi there, I was getting the same type problems whenever connecting to a secure site. The problem was caused by my PC's clock. I had manually set the date back a few years to test an app that I was developing. As soon as I corrected the time, all connections were OK again.

Google search redirect to yahoo 404

Recently, when searching using my google search in safari on my iPad 1 I am redirected to a yahoo 404 error. After resetting the iPad it seems to have gone away, but is this symptomatic of something else? This happened while on wifi. Any insight is much appreciated!

Yes, it confuses a handful of you. Just not the other 3 million plus users who downloaded it. Maybe tell Apple instead of yelling at we other users.

Google search redirect

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to submit my form to google so I can use their websearch.
Depending on what radio button is selected, if the google button is selected I'd like to redirect the search cireteria to the google search.
Am I right in thinking you can't pass parameters using cflocation?
Is there another way I can do this?
My form is below:
   <form action="index.cfm" method="post" name="staffsearch" s>
        <input type="text" name="searchname" id="searchname" onclick="this.value='';" value="Enter search criteria" />
        <input name="submit" type="submit" id="searchbutton" value="Search" />
Staff
        <input name="area" type="radio" value="staffdirectory/results" checked>
        Intranet
        <input name="area" type="radio" value="mainresults" >
     Web
         <input name="area" type="radio" value="google" >
      </div>
    </form>
The stand alone google form is:
<form name="search" method="get" action="http://www.google.co.uk/search">
      <input type="hidden" name="websearch" class="" value="" />
   Search
        <input name="q" type="text" value="" />
        <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Search" />
    </form>
Many thanks

Am I right in thinking you can't pass parameters using cflocation?
One cannot pass form parameters with a <cflocation>, no. <cflocation> tells the browser to do a 30x redirect (302 by default), and does a GET of the specified URL.
However as far as I can see, Google works with GETs anyhow, so you should be OK just passing the params on the URL.

How to stop Google Search Redirected to Bing

All my Google searches switch to Bing, even though Google is the default search engine in Safari preferences. This started several days ago (Dec 30, I believe) when I tried to download a movie from the French TV site, TV5.
I went to my applications. I did have an application that was downloaded that day. I put that application into the trash, but I have not emptied the trash and could recover that application.
I did notice in the Safari preferences that the Search engines listed are now 1. Google, 2.Yahoo, 3. Bing and 4. DuckDuckGo. I assume that DuckDuckGo is an emerging search engine.
A Symantic scan did not find anything related to this problem.
There is a "search.strtpoint.com" statement that appears and redirects my Google search to Bing. I was able to copy and paste the statement to a text file. The total statement is: http://search.strtpoint.com/results.html?c=35&v=insMac&t=1412&ap=97963554&r=ab3c cf12be2240f5a0926c759fb396c0&spt=ext&q=
Any ideas on how to eliminate the redirect statement?

Webpage not highlighted on google search list after being viewed

I am using an Acer Aspire One netbook running XP. I do a google search using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.22 and get the usual list of search results.
Now when I view a website from the search list and then go back to the search list there is nothing indicating that I have viewed that particular page.
In the past once you've viewed a page from the google search list the underlined link normally changes colour is is highlighted to show that the page from the list has already been viewed.
This enables the user to keep track on what webpages have been viewed and which ones haven't.
I'm sure there must be a solution. I have the remember history switched on in the browser, tools/privacy window.
Can you assist please.
Thanks.

Do you only have that problem on the Google site?
Google is using a visited color (#551a8b) that is hardly distinguishable from the unvisited color (#2200cc), so may not notice it.

First i open google search page.after seeing the results if i click in any site the site appears in a new tab.how can i stop this?

these days i face this problem.whenever i click on a site it appears in a new tab.how can i stop it?

The Google Search setting has an option '''Where results open'''. If it is selected, you can try deselecting that. If it doesn't solve the problem, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Google searches redirect to unwanted sites such as K Directory

Using the Google search engine when I click a link in a result I increasingly end up at an unrelated and sometimes totally random website! For example a lot of the time I end up at www.kdirectory.co.uk. Other times I end up on youtube?
Bizarre and increasingly annoying.

You may have an infected system. To scan for malware, install, update and run these programs ''in this order''. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in their "free mode", but the features you'll miss are not really needed to find and remove the problem you have.
