Build ID: 20121129162756

Steps to reproduce:

In Firefox 17.0.1 (December 2012)
Running in Ubuntu 12.04

To reproduce:

Start Firefox in safe mode 'firefox -safe-mode'
Disable Cookies from all sites
Go to http://www.google.co.uk/
Search for eg 'enlightenment'
You get no results.
Reload the page
You see the results
Click on the next button
Page goes pale and one does not move onto the next page.
Reload the page
You see the results of page 2


Actual results:

See above


Expected results:

I should have seen the search results without having to reload page.

Related to Bug #725634, but <epinal99-bugzilla@yahoo.fr> suggested adding a new bug saying 'I think it's due to the new Google Search layout (Knowledge
Graph) deployed by Google in the world.'
Does it work in other browsers for example Opera if you disable the cookies there ?
In Opera (version 12.11) Google search does work for me without page reloads when
all cookies are disabled.
