• My Google search results screen is suddenly very small in Firefox 35.0.1

  When I've upgraded to this version of Firefox, my default search engine has become Yahoo. I then used your directions to move to Google, but the display of results on Google are extremely low, while other search engines results remain at normal size. I don't want to start the zoom to increase the results display as then the Web sites I will be too large. I'm a consultant in marketing communications and must use Google to help my clients with SEO features.

  I tried to attach screenshots of Firefox and Bing search results so you could see the difference, but they do not load. I'm on an iMac 10.7.5

  Thank you both for responding. I am aware of the functionality of Zoom, but not the non-strabisme that I'll add to my toolbar.

  Zoom was not the way I wanted to go because I didn't want to change how other Web sites appears. And did not constantly be buzzing in and out.

  However, in the meantime, the problem disappeared. Not sure why it happened and why it disappeared, but for now it works correctly and all right.

• Since Firefox v34, after Zoom text on a Google search page took me, the Google search page is empty after you click 'Back' to it. What is a v34 glitch?

  Since Firefox v34, search results page is empty, 1) by clicking a link in a Google search results page and loading of the linked page, 2) Zoom on the text on the page that Google took me and then without resetting the zoom text, 3) by clicking on the arrow of Firefox 'Back' to return to Google search results. If at that time I reload the page of Google results, or click back one page and will transmit then again, the full search results will be displayed then again.

  This happens on my Windows 7 PC as well as my Vista laptop. Is it a glitch with text zoom and Google in Firefox version 34?

  Sorry, this seems to be a problem with the cache in memory of Firefox: when you use a high Google zoom level the (the default setting) with "instant prediction results" then Firefox pips showing again after going back page (you can see the results for a fraction of a second before they white).

  Assuming you like your zoom level and enjoy using the instant prediction results, then the solution is to disable the part of the Firefox cached in memory by changing a setting under the covers.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers and change the value from-1 to 0 (that's a zero).

  (Please change not all other parameters similar to 0-sounding or you can disable the ability of Firefox to save/restore your tabs and windows open).

  Then reload the page of Google results and the test.

  Fixed? (Or should I say, worked around?)

• Unable to load Google or Google of Firefox calendar?

  I have Firefox 14.0.1 and all of a sudden I am not able to load the web page in Google and also not able to load the google calendar. I saw somewhere that I if I deleted my cookies it would clearly be the problem, it did not help at all, then I saw that if I reset network.http.spdy.enabled false, this might solve the problem it didn't work either.

    Anyone know how to fix this problem, I use this calender a lot and prefer Google search  I have Windows XP
  

  . Thanks SandyLea

  I'm under 18 and met Firefox the same problem with Google Calendar. Tips to start Firefox in Mode safe has been useful for me. The calendar has worked with all the plugins and extensions disabled, but it took awhile to understand that one it was. For this I have disabled the one at a time, restarted Firefox and tried the calendar for each of them. For me it turns out be a toolbar StartNow (v 2.5.0) extension, which I know not even how I gained in the first place. This removed, Google Calendar works well. Thank you.

• How can I get 12 of Firefox to open a link from Google search results?

  Since the upgrade to version 12.0, whenever I click on certain links in the browser just "recharge" the same page, as I'm on instead of loading the new page in the same tab. When this happens, it's not to open the link in a new tab or the tab on a window, instead, just for a second, I said 'connection' and has the circular busy light, and then I'm right where I was before. In order to actually follow a link, I'll have to, click background, and then click Open in a new tab.

  On many Web sites, the links follow as usual and open the new page in the same tab. Others have not, however, like the google search results page. I wonder if it's something to do with the new feature anti-double tab and if yes, how do I disable that? I'm on OS x 10.6.8. Thank you.
