I've been having this problem for quite a while now, and it's been forcing me to use Bing (which I dislike). Basically, whenever I do a search with Google, it's like my internet just goes off. The search won't go through and I'll get a blank Google search screen. For example, if I open up a new tab and click a bookmark, the loading circle will just spin forever, without anything loading and nothing in the bottom left saying it's loading. I would really like a solution to this, so thanks in advance!
Details: Latest version of Firefox (this problem has pursued prior to the FF9 update)
Windows XP, unsure of specs
