I now found the cause of this issue:
root@markku-Vostro-270s:/usr# grep -Rs dell_lin *
share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.defaulturl",
"http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=ytff-dell_lin&p=";);
share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.param.yahoo-fr",
"moz2-ytff-dell_lin");
share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.param.yahoo-fr-cjkt",
"moz2-ytff-dell_lin");
share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.startup.homepage",
"http://www.yahoo.com/?fr=dell_lin-home";);
share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.defaulturl",
"http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=ytff-dell_lin&p=";);
share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.param.yahoo-fr",
"moz2-ytff-dell_lin");
share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.search.param.yahoo-fr-cjkt",
"moz2-ytff-dell_lin");
share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js:user_pref("browser.startup.homepage",
"http://www.yahoo.com/?fr=dell_lin-home";);
Apply this to fix the problem:
rm -rf /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/001yahoo-defaults-dell.js
rm -rf /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/*
rm -rf /home/*/.mozilla
There will also be some collaterall damage, e.g. mozvoikko extension
will be deleted and user Firefox profiles, so this rule fix applies only
for fresh installs.
