887728 - Hitting Enter on a search always defaults to Google

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect)

Description

[ian]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:22.0) Gecko/22.0 Firefox/22.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20130618033857

Steps to reproduce:

1) Disable the Google search add-on
2) Click on the search/URL entry box
3) Type a search string
4) Press Enter on the phone keyboard


Actual results:

As the search string is typed, the enabled search providers appear in the drop-down list. these do not include Google. However, when Enter is pressed, the Google search results for the string are displayed.


Expected results:

I'm not sure, but it probably shouldn't be Google. At the moment i don't think there is a way of setting a default search provider on Firefox for Android, so perhaps there should be one in order to handle the case where the user his enter rather than picking a search provider from the drop-down list.

This is fixed on mozilla-23 and newer builds.

On Beta/Aurora/Nightly:

When I disable Google through the add-ons manager, hitting 'enter' (I'm using the default Android keyboard and it's the 'Go' button) on an inputted value directs my query to the next available engine, in my case, Amazon. 

On Beta/Aurora/Nightly:

You can set a default search provider through the Add-ons Manager by tapping any of the pre-bundled engines and selecting 'Set as Default' or doing so after installing your own engine.

This was likely fixed by the enabling of setting a default search engine bug.
