I believe the problem is in aboutStartpage.js I'm not sure what the intended functionality is here, but I feel like the start page should be using the default search provider instead of the one currently selected in the search bar. If this is true, I believe it would be fixed by replacing nsIBrowserSearchService.currentengine with nsIBrowserSearchService.defaultengine
To prevent the 404 errors, a switch statement around the uri definition would allow access to the pages we know are available at start.ubuntu.com, and the default would just be Google... I'll make a patch sometime when I get around to figuring out how that works here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834358 Title: Changing provider on search bar in Firefox causes 404 Error on Ubuntu default homepage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubufox/+bug/834358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
