297306 - addEngine does not work on Firefox OS/X

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 259072

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Robert Rothenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When clicking on javascript:addEngine() links from mycroft, I receive the "Add
the following..." dialog box. But when I select Ok, nothing is added to the
search engines.

Javascript is enabled in prefs. So is software installation from mycroft.mozdev.org.

Same problem for 'gif' and 'png' icon types.

This problem occurs in Fifrefox 1.03 and 1.04. (I first noticed it before 1.04
was released, but the upgraded did not fix the problem).

The same search engines can be added using Fifrefox 1.03/1.04 on Windows XP in
the same network, so it's not a problem with those search engines.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a mycroft.mozdev.org page with search addons
2. Click on any javascript:addEngine(...) link
3. When a dialog asks to add the search plugin, select "Ok"
   Note that selected search plugin was not added
4. Quit Fifrefox (Firefox | Quit from menu)
5. Restart Firefox
   Again note that plugin was not added.

Actual Results:  
Selected search plugin was not added

Expected Results:  
Selected search plugin should have been added

Do you have write access to the Firefox installation directory (bug 259072)?

It appears so.
