[Bug 1225278] New: Firefox's Search Provider doesn't work on GNOME (and possibly other DEs)
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225278 Bug ID: 1225278 Summary: Firefox's Search Provider doesn't work on GNOME (and possibly other DEs) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: factory-mozilla@lists.opensuse.org Reporter: ant.romano@pm.me QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed w/ snapshot 20240523, Firefox 126.0 (.rpm) and GNOME 46.1. On Firefox, the `browser.gnome-search-provider.enabled` parameter is set to true, while "Firefox" is listed as an enabled search provider on GNOME (Settings -> Search). The "GNOME shell integration" extension is also enabled, although I'm not sure it is required. Despite my premises, Firefox simply does not appear as a search provider when trying to search through GNOME. I've tried searching for solutions or at least for people with the same issue and found out this article from a Fedora: https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2023/10/13/q3-firefox-linux-update/ although I have no idea how to correctly follow the steps he described. I can only state that the Mozilla Firefox Search Provider service indeed is _not_ "Activatable". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I have a potential fix in my home branch: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:MSirringhaus:branches:mozilla: Factory/MozillaFirefox
It is currently still building, but once it's finished, could you try it out Antonio?
Build appears to be completed but I can't manage to add the repository. Is it published? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Firefox does appear as a search provider in GNOME now. Thank you! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
