Which build are you downloading, and where are you located? It may be that we don't normally show eBay in your region (but it may be sometimes shown depending on language).

It's en-US build.(https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/67.0b9-candidates/build1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-67.0b9.tar.bz2)

Please can you check the value of the browser.search.region preference? You can do this by entering about:config in the address bar, acknowledging the warning, then searching for it.

Comment 7

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Just to be clear, we want the value after the update, once eBay has disappeared.

Comment 8

[atlanto]

Ah, I see. I'm in Japan.
I've gotten

_fetchRegion starting with endpoint https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/country?key= ...
_fetchRegion got success response in 1030ms: JP
fetchRegionDefault starting with endpoint https://search.services.mozilla.com/1/firefox/68.0a1/nightly/en-US/JP/default/default
received ({interval:86400, settings:{searchDefault:"Google", visibleDefaultEngines:["amazondotcom", "bing", "google", "twitter", "wikipedia", "ddg"]}})

Removing ebay is by design, it is.

Comment 9

[atlanto]

(browser.search.region=JP initially. Remove it and restart caused _fetchRegion(above comment), btw)

Comment 10

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Thank you for confirming. That is definitely what we expect to happen. You can probably still install it via going to ebay and selecting it from the page action menu (the three-dot menu at the side of the address bar).
