I have a fully up-to-date Ubuntu 14.04. I used exactly the same process that I used before creating Bug #1248971, and exactly the same thing happened. ie. I was unable to install a new search engine.
I just noticed Message #8 so I will now go and try that... ...Yep that worked. I've now added that "Search Engine" that I was unable to install on 2013-11-07. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-firefox-extension in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069793 Title: Can't install search engines (Tramples over window.external) Status in “unity-firefox-extension” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This addon replaces windows.external with it's own object, breaking the ability to install Opensearch plugins from JS ( window.external.AddSearchProvider() ) TESTCASE: 1) Go to https://startpage.com/eng/download-startpage-plugin.html 2) Click on the blue "Install" button (either of both) 3) You should get a question whether you want to install the search plugin.
