I have the same problem since I moved from my Speedtouch ST330 USB ADSL modem
to a Etech multi-PC modem connected to my PC via Ethernet. I also don't know
why this happens. In firefox the google search bar does not work, in
Konqueror it does. And in firefox under windows the google toolbar also works
properly. So if anyone has a clue on what causes this problem, please share
it...
