Interface flaw

Amazon UK has changed their home page to a slightly different popup menu displaying departments. It's different visually, I'm not sure how it's different technically, maybe it's flash instead of HTML. But what it means for me in practice is that instead of reaching the Search field in two hits of the tab key, I now have to slog through the whole menu, or reach for my mouse. As the kids say these days: FAIL! (The olders say "it's broken".)
