Anyone else having problems with Google?

I was going to put this in General Questions, but I thought it might be too mundane (and temporary) for that.

Whenever I try to google something from the toolbar, I get a password window pop-up (“Authentication Required”) with the following message:

A google search of “Neato Subversion” returns only one hit - this page.

I’m using Firefox 3.5, and yesterday I installed Read it Now.I’ll try uninstalling it and see if the problem still happens.
