Feedster still Sux

I have in the past been pretty hard on Feedster and I don't like just beating someone down if I know they are really trying hard. So every now and then I give them another go because I think the service they provide will be a useful one and because the major search engines doesn't seem to be jumping on the feed search bandwagon.

So today I thought I'd give them a go, I did 4 things:

1) Added a search into NetNewsWire, this just gave me no results, but I can't be sure this isn't the fault of NetNewsWire so no problem there.
2) I went to the actual page and searched for 'pienaar' halfway through rendering the page I got an error from Mozilla.
3) I searched for 'pienaar' again, it worked a charm.
4) After some time I searched for 'apple' and again, halfway through I got an error. Screenshot below.

Is this a problem with Firefox on the Apple? I am not sure, but I do recall getting this error before on my Windows machine too.

Any way, guess I will give it another go in a few months, its a shame.
