User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 When I try to search using the search toolbar in Firefox 1.0PR1 it segfaults. It doesn't matter which engine I use or which query I make, it segfaults every time. This happens both on Linux (Fedora Core 2) and Windows (XP SP2). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open firefox 2.select any search engine in the search toolbar 3.search for something Actual Results: Firefox crashes. Expected Results: It should work.
I've removed the ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.519/chrome/chrome.rdf file and it doesn't crash anymore (on Linux, on Windows I haven't tried yet).

Well, I did the same on Windows and it fixed the problem there too. user.rdf didn't seem to have anything more than leftovers from the portuguese localization extension (http://mozilla.shopizzy.com/firefox) which I had already uninstalled right after installing 1.0PR1.
This seems to be the same bug as 238640. I'll try that. But it shouldn't happen.
Removing chrome.rdf helped. No crash with searchbar, and Firefox recognises the default search in context menu.
marking WFM as it works for reporter and everybody else.
