Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I restarted firefox after update. The first thing I see when I open firefox and each and every time I click on the search box in the upper right corner of the firefox window is:
ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
Stack Trace:
0:ENSURE_

When I try to open edit>preferences, help>about firefox, tools>add-ons, tools>error console, or tools>Page info, all I get is a tiny window that looks like a capsule-pill. When I drag the mouse across it to expand the window, it is empty.
When I select some text in a browser window and right click to try to copy the text I get:
ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
