421770 - Iceweasel search bar prepends the phrase "Just Added" to all search strings

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Clancy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080129 Iceweasel/2.0.0.12 (Debian-2.0.0.12-0etch1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080129 Iceweasel/2.0.0.12 (Debian-2.0.0.12-0etch1)

Bizarre this one, sure it is probably easy to fix.  I ran automatic updates yesterday (am running Debian etch) but I'm afraid I didn't notice whether iceweasel was updated - anyway since then any search I run from the search bar prepends "Just Added" to the search phrase (regardless of search provider selected).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type something in iceweasel search bar
2. Hit carriage return
3. Observe phrase in search engine query text field
Actual Results:  
Search engine is sent query with Just+Added+ prepending your search string 

Expected Results:  
Searcvh engine is sent search string as typed in search bar

Can you reproduce the problem with a mozilla.org release? We don't generally deal with problems in IceWeasel builds. Seems likely to be either a problem with the IceWeasel patches, or your system/setup specifically.

That being said, I didn't see anything in a quick look of http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/iceweasel/iceweasel_2.0.0.12-0etch1.diff.gz that would cause this kind of problem.

I'm not sure how to get the mozilla.org release... if I apt-get install firefox or compile from firefox source code then I just get iceweasel again (I seem to remember)?  Am a bit confused on the firefox/iceweasel situation, is it not exactly the same source code?

Is there a portal for iceweasel bugs?  A google search for iceweasel brings very few results and none of them seem to be the developers except maybe geticeweasel.org, which is a two page site.

Don't you hate bugs you can't reproduce?  I have clients report bugs in ie which don't seem to happen in m vmware setup :)

IceWeasel is Firefox plus a bunch of other changes to remove the branding and do all sorts of crazy stuff at the maintainers' discretion.

You can get official mozilla.org binaries from getfirefox.com .

You should probably file this bug in the Debian bug tracking system, at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ . From what I can tell from a brief look at that site, their bug tracking system is insane. Good luck!

I'll direct them to this site for an example of a god bug-tracker :)
Shall I mark this as fixed?

Nice one Gavin

I'll mark it invalid, but please do feel free to reopen in the unlikely event that this ends up having been caused by a problem with Mozilla code.
