261991 - Re-order search plug-in list

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

Order should be Google first and Yahoo second and then alpha the rest since
Google and Yahoo are the two most popular widely-used search engines.

Comment 1

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

blocking per Ben.

Comment 2

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

what if the user removes either or both Google and Yahoo because he don't want
those ?

Comment 3

[Walter K.]

Should this be localizeable? It makes sense to list first the most popular
search engines for a specific language/locale?

Comment 4

[Kadir Topal [:atopal]]

yes please consider, that while google may be the most important seach engine
for a region, yahoo can be totaly uninteresting.
