Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubufox

I think it's a different bug than #355112 so I'm filing it separately, feel free to mark it as duplicate if it is.
Lucid i386, firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1, ubufox 0.8-0ubuntu1.

Recently (about a week?) I was left with only ask.com as my search provider.
 * Moving .mozilla to .mozilla-bak makes no difference.
 * Removing ubufox makes the other search providers visible again.
 * Reinstalling ubufox hides them again and only ask.com remains.

Seems like if ubufox just add the ask engine, but the others engines are not found by Firefox 7 or Firefox Nightly (9).

The others engines are here: /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/
