google search with firefox gets reloaded?
bit of an odd question. when using firefox, i search (google by default) with the old separate search box. noticed today (or last day or 2?) that it opens the results in a new tab (which is normal), but that is then reloaded immediately.
it would appear it first opens a google page with results, then redirects to another different google page.
eg.. from
https://www.google.com/search?q=bbc&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b
to
https://www.google.com/search?q=bbc&client=firefox-b&gbv=1&sei=[some string of alphanumeric stuff without the brackets]
seems innocuous enough, just somewhat irritating even though the redirect is fast
wonder if it's just google doing its thing or if it's something caused by stuff like noscript/ublock origin/umatrix or some firefox setting.
just curious.
