Automatic update today to FF v14.0.1 brought a problem which has happened with all recent updates and it's driving me crazy ebacuse all the ideas gleaned from a Google search in the past have failed to work this time.

It's all about the little search window at the top right. I have it set to Ebay and, because I live in the UK, I'd like it to open Ebay.co.uk. I'd set it to that but now it's reset to Ebay.com after the upgrade. I've edited the xml file in the searchplugins folder and all locales that I could find in about:config appear to be en-uk, yet it still launces the American site. Any help gratefully received and WHY can we not have this happen every time an update is installed? Best wishes from Lincoln, England, David

Fixed it - I forgot cookies and there was one for the American site, once deleted I now search on the UK version of Ebay.

BUT the question is - why does a version upgrade reset things like this? I'd have thought it was like a preference and should be preserved untouched.
