After install of 2.0.0.8 german version over 2.0.0.7 (ger, too) by using the normal installer, the standard search plugins ae missing (wikipedia (de) and google (de) and amazon (de).
I had to install them from mycroft, which is impossible for wikipedia, becausae such plugin is not available there...

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run installer of 2.0.0.8, when 2.0.0.7, both german, is installed.

Actual Results:  
standard search plugins are missing, additional ones are available as before.

Expected Results:  
All search plugins should be available as before.

I don't see any checkins to l10n/de on the 1.8 branch that would have caused this, and I can't think of any global 2.0.0.8 changes that was likely to cause problems like this.

Can you provide a file listing of <Firefox install directory>\searchplugins?

You could also try setting javascript.options.showInConsole to true and check for errors in the error console. Setting browser.search.log to true using about:config, and then checking "messages" in the error console might be useful too.

In the directory you mentioned (which is not under c:\documents&settings) are only the additional ones and in the backup subfolder, too.

I set the mentioned entries to true, but where is the error console? I'm using Win XP SP2.

I did this way of update because it said there is no new version. My other PC told me to update...

I realized that the update didn't work correct, the version showed 2.0.0.7 as before. So I ran the installer again and now it works as it should. The standard search plugins are there now, too. But: They are are not it in the folder you mentioned! There are only the additional ones...
Eventually you should fix that, the rest is fixed for me.
