Regarding Google Advanced Search, Firefox no longer saves my settings, such as 'number of results,' which I like to set to 100. The Google default is 10 and Firefox no longer saves my setting of 100.

In Google Advanced Search, when I click on Search Settings, I go to the drop down box labelled 'Number of Results' and select 100, then click Save Preferences. Until recently Firefox saved my changed settings, but it no longer does so.

This is caused by the new Google instant search feature. If you disable instant search and use the old style search Google should remember the preferences. The option to turn off instant search is to the right of the search box.
