Hew (hew) wrote : default search engines have keywords wiped with upgrade to 3.5.3

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I updated Karmic, which included upgrading Firefox from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3. I previously had the keyword 'w' set for the Wikipedia search. It appears that all the default search engines have been removed and added again to the bottom of the list of search engines, without keywords. This means I've had to add back keywords for default search engines I use, and remove all the default search engines I had previously removed (eg. amazon, ebay, etc).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Use Firefox 3.5.2
2) Add a keyword to a default search engine (eg. 'google' for google)
3) Remove a default search engine (eg. amazon)
4) Upgrade to Firefox 3.5.3

What should happen:
Search engines are the same as they were with 3.5.2

What actually happens:
Default search engines have keywords wiped, and previously removed search engines have been added again.
