I'm using bellsouth.net for my ISP. The Google search engine is no longer
working with Firefox; it returns a realestate header. It works fine when I'm
using Internet Explorer with the same home page.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
