RE: Google ads why?
I installed your config set on a virtual machine that runs XP Pro same my as my host machine. I have Fx 10 Enterprise installed on the virtual machine. I did a Google search from the Fx search bar and I get a difficult to read display for the search results that is sprawled way across the page.

I then did the same search using Sidki's 2010 config. The display is far more pleasing to the eye and much easier to read as there is no sprawling. For the result "How does Dell EPP (Member Purchase) work" see the sublinks listed that are not shown with your config.

I haven't yet installed your config on my host machine that runs Fx 4.01 so I don't know if that version of Fx would display search results differently from Fx10 or not when using your config.

I don't have thumbnails for each search result when using Sidki 2010 (which is how I want it), but I see that I can open thumbnails with your config. Could that difference be the reason for the sprawled display with your config?

I also did the "hard drive" search again with your config and you are right I do NOT see any ads. Smile! But I would rather see ads than have the sprawled display I get with your config. Plus, on a search for "hard drives", using your config, I get a lot of junk results for "news" and "videos". I don't get any of that irrelevant stuff (I didn't tell Google to give me results for News, Videos or Images) with Sidki's 2010 search. A CLEAN Google search should be identical to what I got from Scroogle. When I used Scroogle, if I, for some reason, wanted videos (which I would never want), or News (which is not likely), or Images, (also very unlikely), I went directly to google.com and did a specific search ONLY for News or ONLY for videos or ONLY for images by clicking on the appropriate links.

This clutter that I am getting in your config is worse than seeing ads with Sidki's older configs. Sad But I object to both. Proxo should give me a CLEAN SEARCH AND NOTHING ELSE. If I don't want to bother to go directly to google.com to do a News, Image, or Video search then I know how to type those search terms in to Fx search bar for a Google search. I do NOT want any of this unless I specifically ask for it!
