[Bug 557397] [NEW] Firefox default search switched to yahoo

[kschmitt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The default search was switched to Yahoo, when I already had a profile
with a different default search engine.  Existing profiles should retain
their default search provider.  Yahoo as the default for new profiles is
fine (I don't agree with it, but that's the maintainer's choice).

Further, extra and unwanted search providers have been populated to my
profile.  I have my own list of internal, private and public searches
that I use.  Adding new search providers isn't as disruptive as changing
the default, but it's still isn't optimal.
