348340 - Search engine toolbar doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 319196

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Ellen Weber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

The default search engines weren't loaded to begine with. When I click the "Add Engine" I am directed to the appropriate site but no other engines can be loaded up either. The search toolbar is totally useless and I liked that feature a lot in the last version of Firefox

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.There is an icon of a magnifying glass, no default engine icons are present
2.I type in what I want to search
3. Press enter or double click

Actual Results:  
nothing happens. Then I try the add engine function. The page loads, I click a search engine, a little window pops up asking me if I want to add this engine to my search bar. I click yes. The little window closes. The computer acts like it's doing something and says done. I click the search engine tool bar and nothing has been added. Still no engine icon, no engine to use. 

Expected Results:  
I expected preloaded default search engines. I expected to be able to add some other search engines. And I expected to be able to use those search engines. 

the software should have done what it did in the last version of Mozilla Firefox. There should be default search engines that work and add-on engines that work too.
