I got the same error message while going through the tutorials online. I found out that the scripts were running too fast for FF to load the links. If you slow down the playback by moving the green button on the Fast-Slow bar to somewhere in the middle the scripts run without any errors.

I guess I know the answer. It might be bcz of any javascript error(you can see that on the status bar at the Right corner(IE)) or that link element might not be placed correctly in the box(box model). Here you can use Selenium.focus("link=text") :selenium.keyPressNative("10") . It presses the enter key.but while selenium is executing this statement Do not change the focus from your AUT (don't touch the mouse). In IDE ,just paste the above statement on click().

Im assuming you are using Google instant as there is no "click search button" command, the link is probably not preset because selenium is not waiting for Google instant to respond or the javascript to render the link. If you manually add in a click command to search it should solve it.

My solution is almost the same as Cuongs. Though I change the speed by using a command and change it back afterwards.

Before you click the link, you can set the speed to slow: Command: setSpeed Target: 3000

You can change the speed afterwards again to ~1000

Well, I don't think you have to slow the speed down. You know the problem is caused by clicking on the link before it is available, so you could add an extra command waitForVisible (e.g. link=Bill Gates: Chairman) before the clickAndWait command.
