User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5

The google redirect problem is strictly associated with Firefox. I have been able use Internet Explorer 7 to properly connect with Google. I can get my g mail with IE7, but right now not with Firefox. IE7 also searches correctly with Google, but FF 3.0.5 causes a legitimate search to be redirect to 
www.google.com/Effects - does not exist. It gives this result no matter what you enter into the search box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a search term into Google search Box
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
www.google.com/Effects - does not exist. 

Expected Results:  
Results on item searched for

Maybe on of the Mozilla Firefox Add Ons is creating this problem, but have not tried disabling any of them since I have about 30 installed.

@Reporter, we have not heard back from you in a while, so I am closing this bug as INCOMPLETE. You can reopen this bug if more information becomes available. Some helpful information you can provide us is found at http://quality.mozilla.org/bug-writing-guidelines. You should also use a recent version of Firefox, from http://www.getfirefox.com.
