Searches become painfully slow from the default google search plugin. After some trial and error it becames obvious that the culprit was client=firefox-a parameter. If there are more users in the same situation out there, rumors about slow firefox search will heat up soon. That's not good at all. Also, I'd like to make you earn some cents but I had to drop the client parameter from my customized search plugin for now. Hope you understand.

I get in both cases an instant result (under 1s)
Same for me. Can you please check the search again in a fresh profile? Does that solve your problem?

I had done that before reporting. I don't think it's a problem of firefox itself but something about google treatment of the parameter. There are a lot of variables involved... maybe it's just me that's having this kind of problem because of some astral configuration. Anyway I thought it was important to let you know.

It's important !
There is a small problem with our testing. I'm using win32 and I'm in germany. You can end on different google servers depending on your location. Henrik itself is afaik also in germany (if he doesn't use a VPN).
Carlos, do you see any difference when you request this url via wget or curl? Is there also a visible delay?

Interesting. Below are outputs for curl with and without the parameter.

Do you see differences in Firefox when using those links directly?

No, but I would like to add that today the problem comes and goes so it was difficult to accurately test this. Anyway I got instances of the issue both with and without the amps.
You should check with dig (dig google.ar) how long it takes to resolve the domain names. Repeat it multiple times with delays of about 10 min in-between.

Sorry for the delay to answer. Since some days ago I haven't been experiencing this issue anymore, so I was unable to report anything of interest in order to solve what seems to be already solved. So I think this bug can be closed for now. Thank you all.
