When I change the order of the search engines (Toolbar -> Manage Search Engines -> Move up / down -> Ok) it changes the order, until I close and reopen the browser. I can't imagine that's the way it's supposed to work. I want it to stay in the order I select.

I have no add-ons installed that have anything to do with search engines, nor that add any toolbars.

I am not using a customized theme.

Apparently this problem is rare, as Googling [ "manage search engine list" ("order reverts" OR "order changes") ] return 0 results.

Firefox 3.6.12; Windows XP Pro SP3.
