Bug Description
I'm using FF 2.0.0.8+
I had the FF serach box set to Ubuntu package search, still from a previous search a day earlier. Then I wanted to search for something on google. After typing in the terms, I wanted to switch the box to use google, but it didn't react at all.
I restarted Firefox. Now all the search engines were gone, just the default icon was there. When I clicked it and chose "Manage search engines", the list was empty and I could not do anything there, no button would react.
I exited FF again, cd'ed to .mozilla/
Please let me know if I can do anything to help debugging this.
Hm, after deleting .mozilla, it worked again. I kept the corrupt profile directory, in case anyone wants to see some files from there.
