Thank you for checking that!

This is always frustrating with distro builds, they may disable features
for any number of reasons, which can cause things like this.

One more step, if you have time. Can you install this sample extension
on the Canonical build and see if it works or not?

I had an addon user report this bug on ubuntu 18.04 64bit, confirmed on
my vbox install. I'll test snap vs apt

Cannot reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 68.0.1 (Canonical, installed

If you are able to reproduce, could you check whether the global
JavaScript console (Ctrl-Shift-J) contains any errors?

The error could be caused by

... when a search engine is defined with a non-existing icon URL.

I went to https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/web/firefox
and downloaded the source package from 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_68.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1.debian.tar.xz

Inside that package, there is `debian/searchplugins/amazondotcom.xml` (and many 
other `amazon*.xml` files). They reference 
`resource://search-plugins/images/amazon.ico`.
This file was removed in part 3 of bug 1496075, so any request to fetch that 
image URL will fail, and hence break `browser.search.get`.

Yep, simply deleting the Amazon engine without an icon fixed the issue.
I'll let the user know.

Bug 1570700 - Drop support for resource/chrome icons in search engines

All built-in engines have migrated from OpenSearch to WebExtensions.
WebExtensions do not support resource: or chrome:-URLs in their
`favicon_url` field, so the "resource:" and "chrome:" URLs can only be
used by external opensearch XML files. These should not rely on internal
resources from omni.ja, as the bug shows. So just drop support for
"chrome:" and "resource:"-URLs, as we don't need them any more.

Current OpenSearch engines that relied on chrome/resource:-URLs can
either replace the URL with a data:-URL, or migrate to WebExtensions.

Getting it on 69 would be nice, but the Snap problem specifically will
be fixed by a change to their distro.

console browser search.png

Hello, 
I've tried to reproduce this on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 64-bit on Firefox Release 
68.0.1 by downloading and temporarily adding in about:debugging the 
"menu-search" extension manifest from comment 3. 
After which debugging mode was enabled, a Debug performed and also I used the 
the browser.search.get() function in the console. 
No error was received; for more details please check the "console browser 
search" attachment. 
If manual QA is still needed on this issue, could you please add the "qe+" 
verify flag and also provided more steps or details in order to test?
Thank you
