Using 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.3 - the google.co.uk homepage is
displaying a horrid background picture. It says to change it go to your
google account and bla, bla, bla.

However I can't log into the account it just recycles the page after
inputting the password. I have cleared cache etc but still the same.

Now, Safari 5 does not display that image and I can log into my account
just fine and the homepage is the same familar clean" white background.

Anyone else seeing this ? Any ideas why - and can offer any solutions -
apart from "use Safari" of course.

Regards

I think you're doing better than I am - Google.co.uk just isn't
responding _at all_ from here.

If I click the news tab, it defaults to Venezuela!

It's just one of Google's little jokes. Desert scene, right?

It does the same in FF 3.6.3 and OS 10.4.11.

In Safari 5 it comes up in normal colours, but in Russian.

Fortunately, if you avoid their home page, for instance by originating
the search in a widget, which I always do anyway, you avoid all the
funny-ha-ha.
