Google web search results "not right" in Firefox

I'm having a problem using Google web search (both toolbar and straight from google.com) in Firefox. When I search for a keyword, lets say a business name, and expect it to bring up the business's website, the results include videos, some blogs, news, etc. Nothing from the business's main website are included in the search results. There are no problems with Google web search in IE or Chrome.

Here's a specific example: Search "Mozilla Firefox" in Google using Firefox there are 31,600,000 results with the top 10 being random websites about Firefox browsers. When I search "Mozilla Firefox" in Google using IE, there are only 130,000,000 (4 times more), with the top results being www.mozilla.org/, and other "main" Mozilla sites.

I've run all the recommended Malware/Antivirus fixes, reinstalled Firefox, updated the few add-ons/plug-ins I have, and made sure that Google search settings are the exact same for all browsers. Nothing is working.

Is anyone else having this issue or have a guess to what may be causing it? I've spent a few hours trying to fix it and at this point am ready to give up on Firefox, which is (was) my go to browser.

hello, google is tracking & personalizing your search history even when you're not signed in - maybe you'll have to opt-out or clear all cookies from google.com & see if the results change...

Genius! Appreciate yoru help madperson. The Delete cookies link worked. I previously deleted/cleared all cookies and when going into them individually noticed that for some reason the google ones and a few others were still there. Deleting them invidividually did the trick.
