Get rid of offer to install Google Chrome
How do you remove the invitation to install Chrome which the Google browser puts on every Google search page now? It's really annoying.

If you click the close X on that adv then they shouldn't appear the next time you visit this Google page.
Note that this is stored in local storage (aka super cookie) and not in a normal cookie, so if local storage is disabled or otherwise not working properly then this adv will keep appearing.
You can check if DOM Storage is enabled.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
No this didn't work. I went into about:config and toggled "dom.storage.enabled" to false and that didn't work. Then I went into Safe Mode and went into Tools, Add-ons, extentsions and disabled the latest Google update and that didn't work either. I can't see why I had to go into Safe Mode though. I looked through all the add-ons and extensions and there didn't seem to be anything likely to cause this problem except the Google update.
Isn't that the opposite of what cor-el recommended?
"Note that this is stored in local storage (aka super cookie) and not in a normal cookie, so if local storage is disabled or otherwise not working properly then this adv will keep appearing. "
You should leave DOM storage enabled (dom.storage.enabled = true)
