Why does Google search only once?

After I carry out a search with Google, it freezes and does not search again. It works again if I reload the page. I'm using Firefox. I tried using Google with Internet Explorer and it works OK. What may be the problem?

    There's a problem today with Firefox, try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox%E2%80%A6

    Just go to NoScript options and remove www.google.com from the white list.

    The problem occurs only while you have javascript enabled, what NoScript does is to enable javascript only on the sites you autorize, after the problem gets solved you can uninstall NoScript or just add www.google.com to the white list again.

    Check you're running the latest version of Firefox first of all. Try disabling all extensions and re-enable one at a time to see if one is interfering.

    If that doesn't work, save a copy of your bookmarks etc, note any extensions, uninstall Firefox completely, reinstall Firefox.

    Hope this helps :-)
