    Anyone know what's up here ? Was not sure where to put this post.

    When I search Google using firefox, I can't see any google sponsored links yet when I use IE 7, I can...

    I don't get it.

    I used to see them and now I just can't, it's been like this in Firefox for the past week or so.

    Happened to me once, was on a corporate IP address and someone had been using an auto position checker tool thing.

    Huh ?

    I don't get it.

    These aren't ads I have put up, these are just Sponsored ad's in general, I just can't see any sponsored ads in firefox.

    Do you know a resolution ?

    Man I feel silly...

    Figured it out, and it's so obvious come to think of it.

    A firefox add on was blocking it all. No idea how the firefox add on got there but conveniantly enough, it's called ad blocker

    I thought you where talking about google PPC ads not appearing, google will stop showing them to you under certain circumstances particularly for automated queries.
