Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Running Debian Etch, today the upgrade to Iceweasel from Firefox 1.5.0.3 was 
available. On upgrade Iceweasel imported bookmarks, and other per user data 
fine except for searchplugins.

The "search" box was non-functional after upgrade, and the "manage search 
plugins" feature also unresponsive on requests to get search plugins.

On inspection it has created a new profile ".mozilla/$USER/<profile random 
string>", but with no searchplugins directory.

cp -rp ~/.mozilla/firefox/<old profile random string>/searchplugins 
.mozilla/$USER/<new profile random string>/

And restarting Iceweasel resolved the issue.

Likely reasons for my install being different include;

 Historical use of "Mozilla Firefox" tar ball in this account (i.e. at
one point before using the Debian Firefox I used one downloaded from
Mozilla).
 
 Custom searchplugins were installed in the "searchplugins" directory
(including a backup directory).

Anyway the resolution is fairly obvious once you know they are in a directory, 
this bug can presumably be closed unless it is more widespread than my work PC.
