I recently updated to the latest version of FF to 6.02. Since then the advance search link on the Google search engine is inaccessible. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem with the latest version of Firefox?

Possibly just coincidence. A while ago most Google search Sites removed the advanced search link from its previous position and relocated it as a menu item under the Options menu which displays top right as an icon of a cog/gearwheel.

The advanced search should also be available as a link for instance

Try clearing your cache and cookies, that may help. See how to clear the cache .

Your US link google.com redirects when I try it, but from google.co.uk I do get an option to use google.com, and that link does not redirect, it works, and provides the advanced search if required http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en
