i cannot add search engines to the search bar. i have a mac G4...OS 10.3.8

i know this has been addressed but i have NO IDEA what the answers say...i
cannot understand all the computer lingo.

and i'm sorry if i have WASTED your time, but my time has been royally wasted
trying to figure this out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on search engine bar
2.click on add engines
3.select engine
4.nothing happens

Actual Results:  
no search engines are added

Expected Results:  
add search engines

i am using default theme.
the blue ok button in the confirmation window does NOT change when clicked.

i like this browser and the icon especially, but going back to nav is looking
better and better.

Bugzilla is not a support forum; we're trying to confirm, identify
and fix real bugs. The input required from reporters should be
within this frame of thinking; bugzilla volunteers request and
expect specifics, detailed useful info, verifiable info, a set of
steps to reproduce the problem you have.

Do you have write permissions in the relevant directory?
