Title:
  Can't install search engines (Tramples over window.external)

Status in unity-firefox-extension package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The addon "Unity Desktop Integration" replaces windows.external with
  its own object, breaking the ability to install Opensearch plugins
  from JS ( window.external.AddSearchProvider() )

  TESTCASE:
  1) Go to http://mycroftproject.com/dlstats.html
  2) Choose any of the OpenSearch plugins and click on the name

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
  A modal window should pop up asking if the chosen plugin really should be installed

  ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:
  A modal window pops up stating that the browser does not support OpenSearch plugins
