 It looks like the Disconnect search is not being set for the English
 bundles. They still default to Yahoo. For some reason, it seems that the
 non-English bundles have the proper default.

 I suspect this is due to the geolocalization checks in
 ./toolkit/components/search/nsSearchService.js.

 I think if we also set browser.search.defaultenginename.US in our
 compiled-in prefs, it should properly reset the engine for English
