Title: Unable to add search providers to Firefox Status in “unity-firefox-extension” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ---+ Abstract As long as the "Unity Desktop Integration 2.4.6" plugin is enabled I could not add search providers to Firefox. I.e. when I want to add startpage.com and click on the "install" link for either "HTTP" or "HTTPS" nothing happens. When I disable the plugin and restart the browser, it works. WebDeveloper Console dislays the following error: ---SNIP--- [22:29:56.955] TypeError: window.external.AddSearchProvider is not a function @ https://eu.startpage.com/eng/download-startpage-plugin.html:2121 ---SNAP--- When I enable the plugin and restart the browser it's again broken. ---+ Reproducible Allways ---+ Steps to reproduce 1. Ensure that the "Unity Desktop Integration" plugin is enabled. 2. Goto https://eu.startpage.com/eng/download-startpage-plugin.html 3. Click on either one of the install buttons ---+ Expected behaviour A dialog should pop up asking me if I want to add the search provider. ---+ Actual behaviour Noting happens. ---+ Additional Info This is also happening when trying to add a search provider from http://searchplugin.net. It however displays the following javascript generated message: ---SNIP--- You need to be using a browser which supports OpenSearch You can also install search plugins by using the drop down menu to the right of the search box. ---SNAP--- When you enable/disable the browser plugin you do not need to restart your browser for the effect to occur but you need to refresh the page. If you do not refresh the page, the behaviour won't change.
