While trying to search something on google, Firefox tries to download my search

While trying to search something on google, Firefox tries to download my search as if i clicked on a download link to a program.
Although this does not happens all the time, it is frequent enough to become frustrated.
I have a screen shot if this if it is needed.

We've had past threads on this, but I need a little more info to find them. What is the name of the file that Firefox wants to save?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove your Google cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
