"I really like Disconnect. So that you can check on some strange behavior, I wanted to let you know that in the last couple of days, I've been having some problems with the page browse functionality. Today, I searched on Google for "least squares estimation derivatives equal to zero," and tried to download a PowerPoint file and a .pdf from two of the sites that came up in the results.
When I tried to open the .ppt with Office 2013, it was not possible to open it ("PowerPoint can't open this type of file...", and when I opened the pdf, it was just a series of blank pages. I have attached this file, in case you would like to validate.
It would be great to have the option to turn on/off the page browse functionality, without disabling the add-on completely. This is the first time I have noticed the page browse, based on the URL.
I am using Firefox 26 in Windows 7, and have both Disconnect 3.11.0 and Disconnect Search 1.4.0."
