Google search plugin redirects to https

I am getting increasingly frustrated by the Google search plugin redirecting search results to https.

I have edited the Google xml file so that all instances of https have been changed to http then deleted the search.json file but my search results still get redirected to https.

I've also deleted cookies and temp files but the problem persists.

The reason is bugs me so much is that my ad blocker is unable to filter https.

I'm not sure if it's a FF issue or more likely, it's Google doing the redirecting but previous version of FF were fine once I edited the xml file.

Any help or suggestions would be cool.

Thanks.

That's definitely a redirect from Google. Since search plugins are consistent in what they send Google, it's hard to know why you get switched to HTTPS. Presumably the signal is in one of the cookies Google sets, but I don't know what causes it to get set in the first place.

Thanks for all the help jscher2000.

I'll start looking into a GM script to see if that can solve the problem, if not, I'll either have to put up with it or switch to bing.

Thanks again.

Managed to find an acceptable workaround.

I edited the search plugin xml in order to replace google.co.uk with 173.194.34.183 and I'm no longer being redirected for my searches via the plugin.

However, If I then click a Google link on the page such as Search, Images, Maps etc, I get redirected to https. I can live with that as I'm usually happy to search from the address bar.
