Yahoo Answers search results won't connect from Google search
When I do a Google search that has a result from Yahoo Answers, if I click the link in Firefox I can't connect to it, but I can from Chrome, IE, Safari, etc... For example I did a Google search for "yahoo answers" so that the general home page was the top result. When I click the link or open it in a new tab, the tab/site name change to the redirect string but the site's contents never load. This is the string that displays in the address bar: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=yahoo%20answers&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CGMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fanswers.yahoo.com%2F&ei=QMsAUKG9AqfE2gXch-2NCw&usg=AFQjCNFto79smHDfZ7VbbGSA4-PlJwF1EA&cad=rja I can copy this string into any other browser and Yahoo Answers open, but it doesn't in Firefox. I can also go to answers.yahoo.com directly through the address bar and the site opens correctly. What is wrong with Firefox?

Is there any difference if you log out of Google?
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I was able to determine that the Disconnect plugin was interfering with my ability to connect to the search results from a Google search. I'll contact the creator and see if they are aware of this issue.
