1328827 - Search Engine Preference is no longer honored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1265881

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[bladeoflight16]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 SeaMonkey/2.46
Build ID: 20161213183751

Steps to reproduce:

1. SeaMonkey automatically updated to 2.46.
2. It changed my default search engine preference from Google to DuckDuckGo.
3. I changed the default search engine setting back to Google.
4. I attempted to search using the Location bar, and it still searched using DuckDuckGo instead of Google.
5. I closed and reopened SeaMonkey.
6. I repeated step 4 and got the same result.


Actual results:

SeaMonkey searched using DuckDuckGo instead of my selected default search provider.


Expected results:

SeaMonkey should have searched using my default search provider.

I debated whether to set the version to 2.46 or not in the ticket because that appears to go by source control branch. I haven't confirmed whether it occurs in newer builds. My apologies if it should have been set.
