I think I'm going to duplicate this to bug 1433263, which is basically the same type of issue. ![]() Yeah that probably won't help then - we'd need to know what was in there before cleaning. (In reply to Nick Alexander :nalexander from comment #2) Maybe this ticket is really "remove or clarify what Reset Default Search Engines button" does? Right - I'm aware of this - but it's still odd that the "in product" way to witness the launchd shenanigans doesn't actually let you witness that. I have access to the profile for sure, but it's been used (a lot!) after cleaning this malware. (In reply to Mark Banner (:standard8) from comment #1) One issue with it resetting everything is that this would not really apply for add-on added search engines - since they would need to be disabled via the add-on routes, but the add-ons also provide other functionality, so resetting those isn't necessarily the best thing to do. Remove Default Search Engines has always been a bit of a strange button. ![]() We are working on various things to prevent/reduce hijacking at the moment. The problem in this case, as you've already said, is that the launchd agents would just re-establish it again.

I'd be interested in looking at exactly what they're doing. I think we should strongly consider changing this UX to make it easier for folks to get back to the known good state - a factory reset of search, if you will. That doesn't seem correct, but I do see Bug 1126435, which is complaining about the what might be the same behaviour, and hasn't gotten any attention in 5+ years. It's only when I remove another engine - in my case, "Wikipedia (en)" - that the "Restore Default Search Engines" button becomes clickable. If I remove the "BrowserDefault" hijack option, the button is still not clickable. That is, the list is not the default, but the easiest path to returning to the default is not available. What I observed is that about:preferences > Search does not allow to cick the "Restore Default Search Engines" button when the malware's "BrowserDefault" search provider is installed. ![]() (It does not install Web Extensions into Firefox.). This malware does many things, including hijacking Firefox's search provider and configuring launchd agents to maintain said hijacking.
