Public bug reported:
On 4 November 2013, I tried to add a couple of Search Engines to the
Firefox search box. I was not able to install Search Engines using
Manage Search Engines from the list of ADD-ONS presented when I did a
search for add-ons.
Steps to reproduce:
I tried to add a couple of Search Engines to Firefox 25.0.
Actual results:
The plugin was not installed. I received the error message "Sorry, you
need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search
plugin.".
Expected results:
A new Search Engine should have been installed.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu
UIbuntu 13.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
firefox 25.0+build3-0ubuntu0.13.04.1
3) What you expected to happen
I added a new search engines to the search engines that I already have.
4) What happened instead
I was unable to add a new search engine.
