Details

Since an upgrade via openSUSE’s update system, from the Mozilla repov (obs://build.opensuse.org/mozilla), a few weeks ago, I get 9 error messages at every start of TB.  They all go like this:

Thunderbird kon de zoekplug-in niet installeren vanaf “chrome://opensearch/locale/searchplugins/google.xml”, omdat er al een zoekmachine bestaat met dezelfde naam.

The original en-US must be roughly

TB could not install search plugin from “…”, because another search engine with that name exists.

Only the … is different each time (Google, Wikipedia, Bing, eBay, …).  They are not search engines I have asked for, I would have deleted them if I could, I have in FF.  It is unclear to me where you would use search engines in TB.
Summary: 9 search plugin install errors at every startup → 9 search plugin install errors at every startup "TB could not install search plugin from “…”, because another search engine with that name exists."
Severity: normal → S3

Does this still reproduce?
