>Description:
The Search box in the toolbar allows one to add other search engines. When I try to add a search engine it takes me to the mozdev page from where i click on the link for say y! search and it shows that it has been added. But even when i restart the browser it never shows up in the list of search engines.. 

I tried to do the same as the root user and it worked fine. Now when i run it as a normal user it shows me the search engines added. Shouldn't this be allowed for a normal user as well?
