Can you add details on what your browser's language is, and where you are (country)? Both affect the default search engines.

Hello,

my browser is in french. I am in France.

I have a dual-boot Windows 10 & Ubuntu 19.04. On Windows, no problem, the Amazon icon is there, but not with Ubuntu.

Thanks for your help.

Please could you try this:

• Enter about:config in the address bar.
• Acknowledge the warning if there is one.
• Within that page, search for browser.search.region and see what the value is, it should be FR.
• Also, whilst there, please see if distribution.id exists, and if so, what is its value?

You could also try going into Preferences -> Search and then under One-click search engines select Restore Default Search Engines and see if that helps.

Can confirm with the Firefox package from https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/web/firefox

This is not an issue with Firefox, but with the distro, as explained at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1570700#c8

The "Restore Default Search Engines" button is grayed out. It becomes clickable when I remove any search engine, but upon clicking it, the restored search engine is still missing the icon.

Looks like this is a direct dependency or even just a duplicate of bug 1570700 rather than a see also.

This bug is caused by an opensearch definition that references a non-existing icon file at a resource:-URL.

In bug 1570700, I fix the reported problem by dropping support for resource:-URLs.

That does still not return the missing icon; the only way to fix the missing icon is for Ubuntu to update their search provider definition (and in comments 8 and 10 of bug 1570700, I explained what could be done).

The search definitions are in our partner repo because we build the snaps for Canonical.

I've updated these so that they should be fixed with the next Snap update.
