Thanks Paul (and Paul B.) your url works for me - even with HTTPS
Everywhere[1]. I think I've tracked down the problem to using the Google
SSL urls directly: https://www.google.com and/or
https://encrypted.google.com See:
<https://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=173733>
I was using my bookmarked https://encrypted.google.com.

Oddly enough, your url http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0 or even
https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0, works just fine. However, basic
http://www.google.com or https://www.google.com gives me the same
symptoms as using https://encrypted.google.com. So I tried:
https://encrypted.google.com/webhp?complete=0 and that works as well.

BTW: I normally use DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/) but sometimes
need to resort back to Google. I the only change that I did when this
started happening was to update from SeaMonkey 2.14 to 2.14.1.
