On upgrading to Firefox 10 the advanced google search option column which provides options to restrict google search results by date has disappeared in Firefox 10. Now I have to use the old approach of clicking advanced search, then date and then the time period I'm interested in. This doesn't happen in IE9 or Chrome.

I am not entirely certain what you are seeing, but it is possibly more likely it is an option you have changed with Google yourself. Possibly you need to ensure cookies are enabled for the google site.

Are you seeing this problem when you go to a Google Website by using a bookmark or entering an address into the location bar, or are you having a problem with the searchbar ?

Maybe if you attach a screenshot of the IE9 and Firefox Google search screens it will help others understand what you are seeing.
