Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Testing Lucid Alpha 3 candidate images.

After installation, firefox, instead of showing Yahoo! as the default search engine, it shows the list ordered alphabetically, and, therefore, the first item is Amazon.com

See screenshot.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as Triaged and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! Please report any other issues you may find.

Also, confirmed this is not how upstream lists them in their search box.
