1063083 - Cannot install search engines in SM 2.29 Beta 2 (regression)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[lemon_juice]

It's not possible to add a search engine from AMO at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/search/?atype=4 or third-party sites.

After pressing the 'Add to Seamonkey' button at AMO I get alert "Sorry, you need a Mozilla based browser like Firefox to install a search plugin.".

When trying to install a search engine from http://mycroftproject.com/ebay-search-plugins.html SM says "Your browser does not support OpenSearch search plugins.".

Spoofing UA to SM 2.26 doesn't help in this case.

The search engines should install normally like in SeaMonkey 2.26.1.

However, it's possible to install search engines manually by downloading the xml file from AMO and placing it in "searchplugins" folder in the profile folder and after restarting they seem to work fine.

Thanks for the info. But it looks like it's only half-DUPME because the other bug 1055371 - concerning installation from AMO - sits there unresolved.

Bug 1055371 is not marked as resolved but the problem seems resolved in the latest 2.29 candidate build. Installation from AMO works for me.

Possibly fixed in Bug 1055371. Closing as WORKSFORME. Thanks.
