Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Using Ubuntu 8.10, Firefox 3.0.x. Every time an update for Firefox comes down through Ubuntu's update manager, and I install it, I notice that the "Ask.com" engine has been added back to the list of search engines you can select to use with the search bar. If I remove it, it stays gone until the next Firefox update, and then it comes back. This isn't the case for all search engines that come installed by default. For instance, I tried with the "Ubuntu package search" engine that comes installed by default, and it stays gone when you update. To reproduce: - Using a non-current version of Firefox, remove the Ask.com search engine through the "Manage search engines..." dialog box. - Update to the current version of Firefox using the update manager or apt-get. - Ask.com is back... Expected results: If you remove a search engine from the list, it should stay gone! Search engines shouldn't be added unless a new version of Firefox comes with an engine defined that was not in the previous version. (Note: This is the behavior on Windows or OS X. If you remove an update, it's gone even after updates, whether you update Firefox manually or automatically.)
