Note, this is a consequence of a recent change I made to ubufox to pick up the distro-version automatically at build time. Previously, the distro version was hardcoded and required patching for each release we ship ubufox on.

This has happened again with the latest update to Ubufox today, 25/09/11. Also, all search engines have been removed and replaced with Ask.com - /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/searchplugins/ask.xml
The /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/searchplugins folder is empty.

bpf - thanks for this information but this is better reported as a bug about ubufox the package in Ubuntu rather than about the Ubuntu Website Project. Please report a new bug about this - thanks in advance!
