resource://dactyl-content/bookmarks.js: 376: TypeError: window.convertFromUnicode is not a function

Hiya,

I get this error when I add new keyword searchs and attempt to use them via pentadactyl:

resource://dactyl-content/bookmarks.js: 376: TypeError: window.convertFromUnicode is not a function

I've tested it with a new keyword search for GitHub and Google Scholar, and I get the same error both times.

How to reproduce:

• Go to Github
• Right click on top search box
• Click "Add keyword for this search"
• Add a keyword, for example, github-search
• Once added, press t (for new tab)
• Type in github-search followed by a search term

It errors. Same process with Google-Scholar too.

I'm not sure if this is a dactyl or a FF error. i've only noticed it breaking recently. I see quite a few posts regarding errors with keyword search, so it could be an FF error.

A workaround seems to be to manually edit the search link and remove stuff other than the q=%s part. So, the github search URL becomes: https://github.com/search?q=%s, for example.

I also start getting this error with keyword searches after upgrading FF from 50 to 51.

I can confirm tim-teufel's comment: I get this for all searches since the upgrade to FF51
