[Bug 388740] [NEW] search box generates error "engine has no file"

[Keepiru]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

To reproduce:

1. Install firefox-3.5.  Uninstall firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding.
2. Start firefox.
3. type something in the search box and hit enter.

Result:  "ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!"
plus a stack trace.

Related:  Clicking "manage search engines" has the same result, then
pops up an empty list of search engines, and the window cannot be closed
with the OK or Cancel buttons (the X does close the window).

Workaround:  Install firefox-3.0.
