Passing through and saw your post. For starters, they both look different because of the addons being used. How can I tell? If you look on the far left hand side, you will see icons next to 'Web', 'Images', 'Videos' in Waterfox. This tells be that you're not using an addon which blocks ads and other aspects of the web page. In Firefox, these addons are working and blocking the different aspects of your web page resulting in a different formated web page. My guess is you're using the addons 'AdBlock Plus', 'Ghostery' or something similar for Firefox and no addons for Waterfox. That's why your web pages look different.

Yes you're correct i am using Adblock plus. The only two addons i use in firefox is Adblock plus and pdf.js. Adblock plus was appearing to be working properly in Waterfox on other sites such as Youtube and OCN. I don't know why it isn't working for google though, so i don't think the problem is Adblock plus.

That's probably because of the implementation of google HTTPS on firefox 14. Firefox 14 now supports and defaults google search to be in encrypted/secure search whereas in version 13 https is not on by default. (needs HTTPS Everywhere add-on).

This is not the cause. I said earlier i was using firefox 14 beta where it already has been implemented for a long time. Chrome also uses https google searches and it looks normal. Clearly something has been changed in Waterfox.

I actually do not know what the cause is. I haven't changed anything related to that, and if you check the URL that WF14 uses for Google it's the same as what FF14 uses as well.

I'll try and find out.

All of a sudden, I'm seeing pages blocked by something called StopBadware. How do I switch that off....???
post #2787 of 5162
Just a quick post. Wanted to let everyone know that there's a new version of Adobe Flash. At the moment, I would recommend NOT to download it. I'm seeing some reports of Firefox crashing after the update. There's no info yet on what this version fixes or what new features it contains. I'll try to find out more and post more info later.

**Keep in mind that some users will automatically get this update if you chose to get the updates automatically (default setting) when you installed the last two versions. If this is you, report back on any crashes or improvements. You're the testers for the rest of us.

Latest version released today is 11.3.300.265

To see what version you have, click the following link: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Fake anti-virus type of thing, perhaps?

It's been around for years. If you visit malicious websites, you'll get a warning about it from the browser. If you visit the website from Google search, you'll get a warning from Google itself.

Never ever seen it before, and I'm not visiting any sites that I haven't been visiting for years. Fortunately. I figured out how to turn it off.
