Doesn't work in my firefox #12

Its works, but not as supposed, I think. Some clarification: I installed this extension just today on two computers, one with windows7 pro and on another with arch linux. On both machines I have Firefox version 57.0.2 (64-bit) and the plugin version is 2.3.2. When I open a google search the page is shown for a very short time in two columns mode but almost instatly this goes back to the standard one column page layout. Interestingly enough when I use the encrypted google search page then the plugin works all right on both computers. Any ideas?

I kind of fixed the problem. I am not sure what is the problem but you should try to enable cookies and disable adblock and/or scripblocker addons for your search page if you have them installed. For me it is working now if I type the search term in the input box on the page (startpage in my case). The only thing I struggle with is getting 2 collumns if I search from the URL bar. I will update if I find out how to solve this. Anyway I want to say thank you again wildskyf for this plugin awesome work!

I guess Google change the HTML tree struct of the search result, so the code in this add-on is not worked like it did before. I need to tune it again as long as google update the HTML of the search result. Please be patient, I will do it soon! :)
