Completely remove pre-installed [in your extension] search engines #91

Closed Drugoy closed 9 years ago

Drugoy commented 11 years ago

Users have their own search engines. They don't need any extra. If they would need them - they would install them manually.

A list of pre-installed search engines breaks just everything: since your extension has no dupe checks - it screws up user-defined keywords for the very same search engines that they already have.

Just one proof: take a look at imdb search engine on all 3 screenshots: why is it absent in the context menu?

manually parsing the InstantFoxPlugins.js for the following lines related to imdb:

"disabled": true,
"disabled": "invisible",
"hideFromContextMenu": true,

didn't resolve the problem. But this helped: I've selected to delete that search engine and then to restore it.

Err, that still doesn't resolve this issue: I don't need any extra search engines getting brought by extensions.

The issue still haunts me :(
