That is not the right way to work around it and it might cause future problems for people who follow your workaround.
The only workaround I recommend is to remove the empty /usr/lib/firefox- addons/searchplugins/$(LANGUAGE) folder for your locale (eg, /usr/lib /firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-GB if you are using en-GB). This will trick Firefox in to using the fallback en-US searchplugins which it provides independently of the language packs, and will ensure that your system is restored to the intended state once the language packs are fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732768 Title: ask.com is the only search provider -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
