1. does not have any effect

2.manage search engines/restore defauls is disabled

if I go: about:config I see searchreset.backup.browser.search.defaultenginename;Yahoo! Search

but that cant have any effect as any of search engines is instaled. Have no idea where Yahooo came in, I always had Google.

3. As stated in first post: Help/restart with adons disabled/reset default search engines

has no effect at all.
