Description of problem: After installing the errata release of mozilla the search button no longer works correctly. Searches return a generic page at Netscape instead of results from Google. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4.2-3.0.2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set your default search engine to Google. 2. Run up2date, get the latest Moz. 3. Type something into the location bar and click search. Actual results: A generic search page at Netscape.com Expected results: A page of results from Google. Additional info: Going into prefs and changing search engines to Netscape, searching (and getting the generic page instead of results) then changing back to Google again will fix the problem.
Same problem: Updated from mozilla-1.4.3-3.0.7 to mozilla-1.7.10-1.1.3.1 and the search engine was changed from "Google" to "Ask Jeeves". (I seem to remember earlier updates converting my search from Google to Netscape, too.) Also annoying: After saving the new search engine preference, a popup appears telling the user it is necessary to shutdown, and restart the Mozilla application for the preference change to take effect. The restart is *not* required for this change.
