Google preview

Hi,

I have been using the portable firefox for a while, however I noticed there's a different when searching @ google.
This is what I get at clicking on the background of a search result in the portable version: http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/7309/naamloost.png
I do not have this on my desktop version, can anyone tell me how to enable this? Is this an addon?

Thanks in advance,
swordbeta

Not for me on FF Portable

Looks cool, how do you do that? Smile It doesn't do it for me. I thought it might be a feature of Google but it doesn't look like it, plus the fact that it only works in one browser for you would suggest it must be an add-on that you somehow installed to the portable version.

Maybe like this one:

Well, I didn't install

Well, I didn't install anything at all, and I don't have any addons either.

And yea, I saw that addon, but it's not it, must be something from google or?

Can't Find Google Settings

Do you have a Google account? I tried looking at the search settings but I didn't see anything obvious that would enable that behavior. I'll take a second look.

[update]Thinking about it, for it to not working on your non-portable Firefox, it would have to be some kind of cookie preference. Unless you're not signed into Google on your desktop Firefox.

[update 2]On the left hand side of the Google page I do have some options for enabling things like page previews but it still doesn't quite work the same way as your description, although it's close.
