Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180206200532
Steps to reproduce:
Opened: Preferences -> Search
Removed
* Bing
* DuckDuckGo
* Yahoo
Actual results:
When I tried to add this
I could not install these OpenSearch engines:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bing/
> "Firefox could not install the search plugin from “https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/54407/bing-20090601.xml?src=dp-btn-primary” because an engine with the same name already exists."
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-ssl/
> Firefox could not install the search plugin from “https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/240221/duckduckgo_https_ssl-20140120.xml?src=dp-btn-primary” because an engine with the same name already exists.
Expected results:
The search engines can be restored from Preferences -> Search by clicking the "Restore Default Search Engines" button. Please show delete search engines on that list to make clear that they cannot be installed from addons.mozilla.org.

This seams very related to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433263
I'm forwarding the needinfo to Michelle, as she is also the one looking into the other bug.

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.
Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE
.
For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.
