(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Espen Andre Kristoffersen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

I am running the latest version of Firefox.
The software will not add search engines I through the Mozilla site. (Msn, Dictionary, IMDB, etc). That renders the search field useless.
Also, when trying to add a bookmark with right-click, the "show all bookmark folders"-arrow/button in the box that appears doesn't work. Since I cannot see the folders, I don't know if the 'add folder' button works ether.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try adding a a search engine (javasript:add engine)
2.Press the "show all folders" (arrow) button in the popup box that appear when right-clicking 'Bookmark this page'.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing (both)

Expected Results:  
1. Added the search engines corresponding to the link I pressed.
