Subject: iceweasel: search engine shortcuts doesn't work anymore

Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:54:30 +0100

Package: iceweasel
Version: 18.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs

Dear Maintainer,

since last update the shortcuts for search engines doesn't work anymore.
For example, my iceweasel is configured to search at amazon if i type "a
$whatimsearchingfor" and to search at wikipedia if i'm typing "w
$whatimsearchingfor" but now it's starting a search with the default engine
allthough i use the shortcuts.

Best regards
Martin

If you go in the manage search engines dialog, do you still have
keywords, there? Does it happen if you start with all addons disabled?
(check the Help menu, there's an item to do that)

Now I realised that some search-engines are gone since last update.
The engines that remained are still working, so this seems to be an
update-issue?

Subject: iceweasel: Search engine keywords disappear during upgrade

Date: Sun, 12 May 2013 20:26:24 +0200

Package: iceweasel
Version: 20.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #697885

Hi,

I recently upgraded (almost pure wheezy) from 10.0.12esr-1 (wheezy) to 20.0-1
(experimental) and all the keywords I had entered  for search engines
have disappeared, making the search shortcuts (as described by the original
reporter) not work anymore. I didn't notice that any search engine
disappeared, but, with few exceptions, I mostly use only my own search
engines.

It would be nice to have an upgrade procedure that doesn't lose the
keywords.

Thanks, Eric

Subject: firefox-esr the same

Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 13:17:19 +0000

This problem still exists in firefox-esr (Debian 10 & 11).

I am not sure about that but I think on a Windows machine my Firefox-ESR 
does not lose the search shortcuts when I updated it.
So it could be related to  the debian packaing process.
