From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009 Description of problem: After installing Fedora Test 3, I tried to make a search in mozilla. And while GOOGLE was configured as the defaut internet search engine, it used netscape search engine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Mozilla 2.Enter something in the URL bar 3.Click on search Actual Results: If you've just installed Fedora, it uses Netscape search. Expected Results: It should use GOOGLE. Additional info: After going to the preferences, I noticed that GOOGLE was actually already configured as the default search engine. So I selected Netscape, then GOOGLE and, this time, it used GOOGLE ! Weird...
Was that with a fresh profile?
It was at the first launch of Mozilla on a freshly installed Fedora (not an update). So, I guess it should be a fresh profile.
I've just created a new user and launched Mozilla. Now, the default internet search engine in Netscape. And searching uses Netscape as expected. Changing to Google works too. So, 2 things: - I think the default for new user should be Google instead of Netscape. - I don't understand why on the previous user, I could see Google configured as the default search engine while Netscape was used... What is the default search engine in Mozilla on Fedora ?
It's supposed to be google. Looks like I missed a setting somewhere.
Just wanted to add that the bug is also in Mozilla-1.5
This bug appears to also have been introduced in the 1.4.2 redhat linux 9 updates just issued. For an existing user/profile the currently set 'google' search preference does not function after update. However, the workaround of temporarily setting it to 'netscape search' preference and then setting it back to google, as suggested above, appears to fix the problem (at least on two x86 machines).
Is this a bug still around in Fedora Core 2? Doesn't seem to be reproducible with one of the rawhide snapshots (mozilla-1.6-8) any longer...
This bug re-appeared after upgrading from FC2 to rawhide, with mozilla-1.7.2. Now, clicking on the "search" button uses google, but, in the preferences, "askjives" is selected...
Please note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy only for security issues. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen the bug and assign it to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5, please reopen and assign to the correct version. mozilla was removed from FC6, although the seamonkey application suite, available from Fedora Extras, is derived from it. Similar bugs may also be present in firefox, so if the bug occurs with firefox in FC6, the bug should be reassigned to FC6 and the firefox component.
