After upgrading to FF 9.0.1, if I enter a search term in Google's search bar at the main SEARCH page (at the default Search Everything page), then click on either the News, Shopping, Books, Places, or Patents link (located under Google's left-hand Search > Everything nav bar, a search results page starts to load, quickly followed by a Google 404 error. It happens all the time, no matter if FF add-ons are enabled or disabled.

Here are two examples of the text shown on 2 of those 404 pages:
