1433263 - "Restore Default Search Engines" is misleading

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Search, defect, P3)

Description

[Markus Jaritz [:designakt] (UX)]

Attachment: Recover-default-search-engine.gif

In any profile with edited / extended list of one-click search engines, removing a default search engine (like duckduckgo) results in no options to get it back, short of resetting all search engine, and loosing all customizations or added search engines.

Expected result: A way to re-add, or recover a removed engine without removing all other customizations.

Oh, it actually is possible, as pressing "Restore Default Search Engines" actually preserves customizations.
I was afraid to click the button, fearing I will loose all customization, so this still seams like an issue.

Michelle, do you or your team have an opinion on this?

From bug 1657969 and related to comment 1 - "Restore Default Search Engines" implies it will restore the default set, but doesn't actually do that.
