I added the CodeProject search engine to firefox. It goes by the name "The Code Project". But after adding it, the little bottom-faced arrow has a blue glow meaning the search-engine of this site could be added. It says 'Add "CodeProject"'. Same thing occurs even if you delete your search engine and add it again.

It occurs only on some websites (for instance, it doesn't occur with Wikipedia),
don't know whether it has something to do with the search-engine or Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.codeproject.com/
2. The bottom-face arrow of the search bar should be surrounded by a blue glow.
3. Add the search-engine.
4. The blue glow doesn't disappear meaning it could add the search-engine again.

In case it isn't obvious from that bug, this is happening because we only use the advertised engine name to compare it against the list of already-installed engines. That page is advertising the engine as "CodeProject", but the actual name in the engine description file is "The Code Project". If the two were consistent this wouldn't happen - you might want to let the website maintainer know so that he can fix it.
