[Bug 428059] [NEW] Latest update killed search engine access and some menu items in Firefox

[Mark Rehorst]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I restarted firefox after update.  The first thing I see when I open
firefox and each and every time I click on the search box in the upper
right corner of the firefox window is:

ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
Stack Trace: 
0:ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!,2147500037)
1:()
2:()
3:()
4:epsGetAttr([object Object],hidden)
5:()
6:([object Object],0,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object])
7:SRCH_SVC_getSorted(false)
8:SRCH_SVC_getVisible([object Object])
9:getVisibleEngines([object Object])
10:get_engines()
11:rebuildPopup()
12:rebuildPopupDynamic()
13:onxblpopupshowing([object MouseEvent])

When I try to open edit>preferences, help>about firefox, tools>add-ons,
tools>error console, or tools>Page info, all I get is a tiny window that
looks like a capsule-pill.  When I drag the mouse across it to expand
the window, it is empty.

When I select some text in a browser window and right click to try to
copy the text I get:

ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
Stack Trace: 
0:ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!,2147500037)
1:()
2:()
3:()
4:epsGetAttr([object Object],hidden)
5:()
6:()
7:currentEngine()
8:()
9:CM_initMenu([object XULElement],[object XULElement])
10:nsContextMenu([object XULElement],[object XULElement])
11:onpopupshowing([object MouseEvent])
