This bug is reported against 2.0.0.1, and bug 319196 doesn't apply to the search service there, so this can't be a duplicate. Xeonchen, can you reproduce this in safe mode, or with a new profile?

So this is not caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf?

That's right. The Firefox 2 search service and search bar are not dependent on localstore.rdf at all.

Christopher or Xeonchen: Do you see any exceptions in the error console if you set javascript.options.showInConsole to true using about:config?

I am sorry. There is alert. the content is here: Could not initialize the browser's security component.the most likely cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is nit full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features.

Have you perhaps restored your profile from a CD backup, or otherwise done something which would have caused the files in it to be marked read-only?

Suddenly my searchbar disappeard (Firefox 2.0.0.1). Deleted the search.sqlite file, but no use. Opening  "Manage Search Engines..." raises:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [mozIStorageConnection.createStatement]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSearchService.js :: createStatement :: line 762"  data: no]

And pressing the Cancel button (which doesn't close the window):

Have you tried a new profile? How about reinstalling Firefox?

[Paul Damian]

Well, I think my post is useless to track the bug. The search engines suddenly reappeared, I don't know why, because in the mean time there were a lot of browser restarts and a couple of computer shutdown and starts. So I didn't manage to test new profile and reinstalling.

Does this bug still happen in recent Firefox releases or with the Firefox 3.5 beta4?

Resolving as incomplete. Haven't seen this yet on all platforms. If it still happens for you feel free to reopen.
