Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

To reproduce:

1. Install firefox-3.5. Uninstall firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding.
2. Start firefox.
3. type something in the search box and hit enter.

Result: "ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!" plus a stack trace.

Related: Clicking "manage search engines" has the same result, then pops up an empty list of search engines, and the window cannot be closed with the OK or Cancel buttons (the X does close the window).

Workaround: Install firefox-3.0.
