I just reproduced the issue.
0) I am starting with up-to-date Karmic including Firefox 3.5.3
1) Force downgrade of firefox-3.5, firefox-3.5-branding and
firefox-3.5-gnome-support to 3.5.2+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 (fortunately I still had
the amd64 debs in /var/cache/apt/archives)
2) Run 'firefox-3.5 -profilemanager' and create a new profile
3) Go to 'Manage Search Engines'. Add keywords to some of the default search
engines, and remove some others
4) Close firefox
5) Upgrade to up-to-date Karmic (currently firefox-3.5
3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu3)
6) Run 'firefox-3.5 -profilemanager' and choose the previously created profile
7) Go to 'Manage Search Engines'
The search engines have no keywords, and deleted ones have been
restored.
** Changed in: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
--
default search engines have keywords wiped with upgrade to 3.5.3
