183816 - Unable to effect default search engine change to existing profile, remove user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine" from prefs.js

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect)

Description

[Kasumi]

tested 2002-11-20-16-1.0
Win XP Pro. SP1 JA, MAC OS X

When search default engine is changed(happend on JA build from Netscape Search
Japan to AOL Search),this change can't effect to existing profile for localtion
bar search because user profile contents this info as
user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine" .....)in prefs.js.
I would like to request that browser.search.defaultengine doesn't belong to
profile. 
Other searchs (tool bar, personal toolbar, tools/Web search, tools/search/web,
Bidebar/Search tab)work fine because these info don't belong to profile.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
