Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Maybe they had to change some sort of technical link to the search engine? Like, they couldn't directly change some info on the search engine, so they just created a new one and deleted the old.

Just a complete guess though.

@Bubs you, my friend, must have, at least, developed some code?

Because that must be it. Like a variable being replaced, just with the same name in it :-)

Probably means your previous 'Google' entry was an outdated one that is no longer supported, and a new 'Google' entry is now used to replace it. But the message is generic and used whenever a search engine is no longer available.
