I typed in "laptop computers" and got sent to www.gateway.com
This is the "I'm Feeling Lucky" version of Google integrated into the browser.
This sends the user to the first search result instead of displaying a lost of
search results.

Try upgrading to a recent build of FireFox (aka Deer Park Alpha 1) at
