Hi Apostolos,

which omni file have you replaced (I suppose in browser directory)? In my FF 24esr I have found 3 such files:

$ ls -al /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/omni.ja /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/webapprt/omni.ja
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     3837416 Mar 17 06:53 /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     7091185 Mar 17 06:53 /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/omni.ja
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       26945 Mar 17 06:53 /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/webapprt/omni.ja

Also in FF28 (for both OS and Linux OS) tar files:
$ tar tvf firefox-28.0.en-US.opensolaris-i386.tar.bz2 | grep omni
-rw-r--r-- 0/0         4314930 2014-03-17 04:38 firefox/browser/omni.ja
-rw-r--r-- 0/0           44757 2014-03-17 04:38 firefox/webapprt/omni.ja
-rw-r--r-- 0/0         8180461 2014-03-17 04:38 firefox/omni.ja

$ tar tvf firefox-28.0.en-US.linux-i386.tar.bz2 | grep omni
-rw-r--r-- 0/0         8230925 2014-03-15 07:49 firefox/omni.ja
-rw-r--r-- 0/0         4317047 2014-03-15 07:49 firefox/browser/omni.ja
-rw-r--r-- 0/0           44940 2014-03-15 07:49 firefox/webapprt/omni.ja

Thanks.
Regards.
