What's with Google and Proxo?

[Mele20]

Heck. I knew vaguely about the Ajax thing but just now read bugger's links so I have better understandng. What I still am not clear on is why is ONLY Firefox affected? I always type in the main google address into any browser's address bar and search from the main Google page yet none of my other browsers are showing ads or any other strange stuff.

Too late now...must get some sleep...but I'll try your suggestion tomorrow for setting up a search engine in Fx.

Plus, why is the Proxo menu affected only on Firefox at Google and not the other browsers?
