This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 62.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4
---------------
firefox (62.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4) bionic-security; urgency=medium
* Fix LP: #1791789: Mark distribution search engines as read-only, so that
they are marked as hidden in rather than removed from the search engine
cache when a user "removes" them (they can't actually be removed from disk).
This stops them from reappearing on cache rebuilds
- add debian/patches/mark-distribution-search-engines-as-read-only.patch
- update debian/patches/series
* Backport upstream change to the search service to not handle locale changes
on shutdown. As well as resulting in en-US search engines being added to
the search engine cache for all locales, it was resulting in a cache
rebuild on every restart, making the above bug worse (fixes another part of
LP: #1791789)
- add
debian/patches/search-service-dont-handle-locale-changes-on-shutdown.patch
- update debian/patches/series
* Ensure that region-specific search defaults are disabled everywhere
again
- update debian/distribution.ini
- remove debian/patches/disable-geo-specific-search-defaults-for-us.patch
- update debian/patches/series
* Fix the Ubuntu search engine defaults now that the "browser.search.order."
and "browser.search.defaultengine" prefs have been removed from the default
build
- update debian/distribution.ini
- remove debian/patches/ubuntu-search-defaults.patch
- update debian/patches/series
* Set "intl.locale.requested" in vendor-gre.js rather than in
distribution.ini.
The former is loaded by the pref service much earlier, and this pref needs
to be initialized before distribution.ini prefs are applied in order for
locale-specific prefs to work
- update debian/distribution.ini
- update debian/vendor-gre.js
* Rename debian/patches/revert-upstream-search-engine-changes.patch to
debian/patches/no-region-overrides-for-google-search.patch to better
reflect what the patch is for (described in the patch header)
* Drop debian/patches/normalize-distribution-searchplugins.patch - this is
no longer needed and hasn't been for a long time. It was added to fix
loss of metadata on upgrade for distribution search engines when the
Firefox install location was versioned
* Set "spellchecker.dictionary_path" by default to point to
/usr/share/hunspell
so that system dictionaries are loaded again, now that Firefox no longer
loads them from its own install directory. Fixes another part of
LP: #1791789
- update debian/firefox.links.in
- update debian/vendor-gre.js

Title:
FF62 upgrade : search engines override, french dictionnary and
language pack lost.
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Hi,
Ubuntu 18.04 here, language system is french FR.
When FF upgrades to 62, two problems occur :
1. french dictionnary and french language pack are « lost » in the
upgrade. Need to reinstall both.
2. Some search engines come back at each re-launch ( google, amazon )
and search engines list order is also lost at each relaunch.
