I think this might be fixed by bug 937769. I'll land that now that the trees are open again, and we can see if that guess is correct.

The bug is still reproducible on Nightly 28.0a1 (2013-11-19).
Looks like the bug is not related to bug 937769.

Changing dependencies because this is actually unrelated to the OpenSearch work - the reporter is adding the search engine from long-tapping the search box (not urlbar).

I tried to repro this, and was able to add the search engine - flaviu, can you think of anything else that might be different about your build?

Looks like the bug is tablet specific.
Tested on latest nightly build:
HTC ONE X (Android 4.1.1) - Not reproducible
Google Nexus 10 (Android 4.3) - Reproducible

More or less the platform, but I doubt it.

Comment 6

Flaviu, I assume you can add other search engines like DuckDuckGo for example?

Comment 7

[:Margaret Leibovic]

I wonder if this would be fixed by bug 790898.

Comment 8

Also, for more detailed error logs, you can try flipping "browser.search.log" to true in about:config, since it looks like the error happens in nsSearchService.js.
