I start a search in Google (either main page or the search tool bar). I get the results. I click on the results and I am taken right back to Google's main page (i.e., www.google.com). It is to the point where I cannot use Google search anymore, I need to use Bing or some other site, or I need to kick back to FF 3.x. Any ideas???

I found that opening search results in a new tab worked. Also you can't go back to your search results - the back button is greyed out or takes you back to the page before your search - Don't know the version at the moment, it's a different PC.

...and now it's doing the same in 3.6.21 on XP - but I don't think it was before the upgrade to .21

I found time to dig into this a bit further, and I think I've found a workaround. It looks like google's redirected (see http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/rid-unwanted-redirects-google-search-results/ ) is getting mangled. Stripping the redirect with a greasemonkey script appears to do the job. I've installed Google anonymizer ( from https://www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/10448 ) and search is back to normal.
