Suddenly, tonight I have the SAME problem on Fx 1.5 (yes, I still use that version) on my Host XP Pro machine. It is a Proxo problem affecting Fx only. I have been using Opera 1010 mostly for months now and it is not affected.

I believe you have found an ajax page,

or it has found you.

If I bypass Proxo and click on Result number 19 link, I get taken to the Avast blog.

The above happens on EVERY link I click on. If Proxo is not bypassed, I get a blank page with the "loopback" url.

It appears to be blank but contains

Code:
<body><a href="http://blog.avast.com/2009/10/31/what-do-av-products-do-and-how-are-they-tested/" id=link target=_parent>
</body><script>var a=parent,b=parent.google,c=location;if(a!=window&&b){if(b.r){b.r=0;a.location.href="http://blog.avast.com/2009/10/31/what-do-av-products-do-and-how-are-they-tested/";c.replace("about:blank");}}else
c.replace("http://blog.avast.com/2009/10/31/what-do-av-products-do-and-how-are-they-tested/");
</script><noscript><META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://blog.avast.com/2009/10/31/what-do-av-products-do-and-how-are-they-tested/'">
</noscript>

code to redirect the browser to the desired page. Your set probably blocks this and leaves you stranded.

It is alternating between normal layout and a strange layout with an odd looking square box in the upper left corner of the search results page that looks like a map and has "Google checkout" image that is clickable but that just takes me to a blank Google home page.

I am also seeing no filtering by Proxo on Google search pages. This just started. I see ads as well sponsored links. I don't use Google Alternate Display but all other Google filters from Feb 2009 set are checked.
I also have Kye-U's Google Search Remove Fade-in and Disable Google Suggest v 1.2 (which works on Fx 1.5 but not on Fx 3).
