No search results when searching Yahoo from the address bar

I just installed the current release of Firefox last Friday on this (new) Win7 machine. When I search from the address bar using the default search engine Yahoo, there are no results in the results list (see attached screen shot.) When I change the default search engine to Google, the problem disappears. What gives?

Thank you Tyler! Clearing the cache and cookies fixed the problem. I'm curious to know why that's the case, however. Given that it was a brand new Firefox installation on a brand new machine, why wouldn't the default search engine work right out of the gate?
