207812 - Internet Default Search Engine resets itself

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 87699

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[Stefan vom Bruch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

Because I don't like using the Austrian Google (or whatever is the first
Internet search engine) in the drop down menu for default search engines, I
change it to something else (Google or Netscape) and confirm the change by
pushing OK. 
This works OK for a while but, i.e. the default search engine is Google or
Netscape, but then after a few sessions the default search engine will be reset
to Austrian Google.
I have yet to confirm under which circumstances this happens but it does happen
on a regular basis on my machine. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Menu > Edit > Preferences... > Navigator > Internet Search
2. Select different default search engine from the first one available
3. Tick "Open the search tab..." -> yes
4. Select Search Bar Tab Preference "Basic"
5. Confirm -> OK
6. Open Search Tab - default search engine will have changed 
7. Play around: open new browser windows / close all browser windows / reset
computer
Actual Results:  
The default search engine has been reset to Austrian Google, in the side bar 
as well as under Menu > Edit > Preferences... > Navigator > Internet Search.

Expected Results:  
Default search engine should still be whatever I selected.
