Most notably, for me, I'm stuck using Yahoo as the default search engine. I can change the default to Google, but the preference resets when the window closes.

Edit: It appears only browser instances launched with Selenium are affected. Instances launched the usual way default to Google as expected.
- chucksmash 10y agoThis was a once only change for me. If this is actually the case (setting not staying...set) you should open a bug report as it's surely not intended.
- zorgmonkey 10y agoTo change the default search engine you can click the magnifying glass and then click Change Search Settings from there you can set the default search engine.
- neoncontrails 10y agoI know how to change the default search engine, but the settings don't persist from session to session (at least not when the browser is launched from Selenium).
- frenchy 10y agoPerhaps Selenium doesn't use an existing profile when it loads because that could subtly change its behavior every time it is run (for example, which links are visited).
- neoncontrails 10y agoThis makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.

- justinlardinois 10y agoI'm pretty sure you can configure which profile Selenium launches with, and change that profile to use Google as the search engine.
- rhelmer 10y agoThat really should not be happening. Are you clicking "Change Search Settings" in the search drop-down, and changing the "Default Search Engine" in the preferences (about:preferences#search) ?
