1129554 - Wrong default engine set under profile creation with device using outside US VPN

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

As anticipated, currently with a device using an outside VPN (Britain), the wrong default engine is set on profile creation. Yahoo. 

 Install VPN Master
 Set VPN to London (UK) and connect
 Launch Firefox 

See Yahoo as default, expected to see Google

Sounds weird. You say that Fennec works fine (CA/CA and shows Google?) when using a non-VPN approach?

Yes. What does Kar get on a new Nightly profile?

by a new nightly profile, I presume you mean I uninstall nightly and re-download & install it.

If that's the case (done), my default is google.

Based on this information, I think this bug is working. I don't know why the VPN approach is causing issues, but it's not our priority at the moment. It would be nice to have that working, for the sake of testing though.
