I see your new results.
I too have tested with FFv2.00.20 and 3.6.23, both in individual sub directories,
not sharing anything except main system libraries.
FFv3.6.23 is running NoScript v2.1.8.
FFv2.0.20 is running NoScript v1.9.9.33, since v2.1.8 does not go back that far.
When I use these versions Google searches of any kind work, even directly at google.com.
I am also running Request Policy with FFv3.6.23, currently v5.22, which I should upgrade now that I noticed it.
I try to keep all of my browser settings very restrictive, allowing as little as possible,
and simply using temporary permissions if needed.
I have not ever needed to allow Google or Gstatic to simply get a list of search terms displayed using Request Policy.
They are needed to view Google Maps though.
Still when I use a newer FF version, Google currently gets stopped by NoScript for a META REDIRECT violation.
FireFox v5 or newer:
Simply go to google.com and type in a search term and press enter.
It is at this point that NoScript will stop the resulting output with the blocked META redirect warning.
Requiring one to click it to see the results of your search.
Thanks Again.

Please check latest development build 2.1.9rc1, thanks.

I'm still getting a blocked redirect (or blank page, with much source content) with the keyword bookmark example
http://www.google.com/search?q=%s searching for any word, but if I just load the bookmark, google comes up.

I too get a META redirect, with scripting and cookies disallowed. 2.1.9rc2
Allowing https://encrypted.google.com is still necessary.

@Mc: are you forcing HTTPS on google.com?

@Tom T.: does changing the noscript.forbidMetaRefresh.exception about:config preference to
help?

investigating.....

No, I still get a META redirect, and the page won't load until I TA https://encrypted.google.com

No, that's set to Never.
On blank pages I get many CSS Warnings, btw, mostly Error in parsing value... Declaration dropped.

On Fx 3.6.23, I get *no* messages in Error Console while the redirection is being blocked by NS.

Edit: On Fx 7.01 Portable, I get no messages in either Error Console or Web Developer console while the redirect is being blocked.

I'm trying NoScript 2.1.9rc2 at default settings and I'm still getting a blocked redirect but try change "noscript.forbidMetaRefresh" to false and see what happens while browsing. Surprising.

Greetings to all

@ Giorgio: I need to log off for a while. If there is a new dev build or other fix to try, I'll check back in an hour or two.

And get some sleep!

Sorry do not read what I wrote in this post. I'll sleep a little to avoid stupidity.

No worries.
The sleep suggestion was for Giorgio. I thought he might be an hour ahead of you, but it looks like you're in the same time zone.
So I guess it was for both of you. The issue will still be there tomorrow.

it looks like when google wants to redirect, the page is there and functional, but hidden by a style in <noscript>, and it can be unhidden. Not sure if this is preferable to letting it refresh, but it's an option.

sources="!www.google.com/search?"
replacement="if (getComputedStyle(document.body).display === 'none') document.body.style.display = 'inherit';"

And for me
I tried the setting of Decklan yesterday too and got the blank page with my keyword search (http://www.google.com/search?q=%s) as well. So it's not stupid to do so
Today I tried opening the bookmark directly with that unchecked (set to false) and... I got a blank page.
