[Bug 733952] [NEW] Google search engine (and others) missing in the search bar

[Robert Premuz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

After upgrade to FF 3.6.15 I lost most of the search engines in the FF
search bar (e.g. Google and others).

Creating a new profile in FF does not solve the problem.

After a little of investigation I've found out that the following directory is empty:
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-GB
(I use en-GB locales).

The problem can be solved by copying all files from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US to the above directory:
cp /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US/* /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-GB/
and restarting firefox.
