I'll look more into this.

Comment 4

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Moving this to 1.2, looks like this is an issue with google without a good workaround. Can not find any solutions that work.

Paul can you remove the js you added.

Searched high and low for a solution to this one, no joy.

I have also confirmed this occurs on multiple custom search implementations outside of mozilla.

Will watch the stackoverflow question and if this is ever resolved, we will re-open.
