[Bug 355112] Re: Ask.com keeps being re-added to Firefox search bar after updates

[Courtney Bane]

In looking into this, I discovered that the Ask.com search plugin is the
only one shipped as part of an extension.  All of the other default
search plugins ship in the /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins
directory.  Since each new version of Firefox is looking in a different
base directory for its stuff, it doesn't see the Ask.com search plugin
as having been hidden after the upgrade.  I've attached a dump of my
~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/search.sqlite database that shows the
duplication due to changed paths.
