I just tried searching from the Google home page and the hash changed, but nothing happened FF4 on a Mac ... No results ... Tried clicking and enter ... When I type I get suggestions, but I can't make a search happen.

Anyone else seeing this?

I got it to work a few minutes later after hitting, yes, you guessed it, the I'm Feeling Lucky button ... Go figure...

They've turned up the synonym dial and the button is being interpreted as "Feeling Fortunate" in FF4.

I thought maybe we were all being a bit too harsh on 'em lately and they needed some reassurance we still felt lucky to be able to use their search engine.

Just a little FYI to the Googlers out there: I'm not clickin' it every time I search you guys, alright?

Maybe FF isn't a quality browser. ;)

Yes, I've been having this problem for a couple of days. I switch to another browser, come back after a bit, and FF works again.

Firefox is far better than chrome.That new options screen in chrome is totally absurd and unfriendly. A pop up was far better, easier and quicker.
