You are prompted to add yahoo Search as an option. When you attempt to, it fails. Actual results: Fails with a message stating an engine with the same name already exists. Expected results: While one can return yahoo search manually by clicking on "restore default search engines," Many users might not know that Yahoo is/was a default search engine. Or many users might want yahoo search back after seeing the prompt in the search box. The error message seems superfluous, why not just add the default yahoo search (or other engine?)

We no longer have Yahoo as a default, though I think the effects for the other engines are the same as bug 1208768.

I don't think we need this open any longer. Let's re-mark it as a dupe as it is very similar in idea.
