** Description changed:

  When Mozilla initially switched to Yahoo by default for US users, it did
- this with a geo-specific preference
+ this with a non-localized geo-specific preference
  (browser.search.defaultenginename.US), used when the locale was en-US,
  the user was in a US timezone and Firefox was not a partner build. This
  meant that Ubuntu builds continued with Google as the default search
  engine.
  
  Some users are reporting that the default is switching to Yahoo after
  upgrading to 40.0, which is not intentional.
  
  Since http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/37ea9e22ac42,
  it looks like Firefox downloads a region specific default from a Mozilla
  server even for partner builds like ours.
