"Link to other search sites" fails to work on any Google search - Web, Images, News, Products, Books or Blogs. For me, this was one of the most used features.

Web should be working, images was fixed but is again broken, not sure about the others.
Which locale are you using?

Same problem here. I use Firefox v3.6.13, US English on WinXP SP3 US English.

Does it work if you search from the firefox google search bar? I think this may stem from the larger issue of not handling the "new" google search result pages still.

Sorry, no. Doesn't work from neither the search bar nor first navigating to google.com and doing the search there. OTOH, I see now that Google redirects me to google.se (Google Sweden) whatever I do... Might this be problematic for OptimizeGoogle?

[Solved] Managed to change the localization to english and turn off instant search, turns out it was on and actually rather difficult to disable, the setting wouldn't stick. Anyway, now I see the other search sites-links. Thanks for your time and effort!

OG should work on Google Sweden too!
Try going to http://www.google.se/search?q=test and right-click in the search box and "add a keyword for this search". Then you can choose a keyword (eg. google) then use the keyword to do searches (eg. google bob) right from the location bar.
This is all really a workaround until we can figure out how to deal with Google instant etc.
