Search engines won't stay in the order I put them in

This is a problem with 3.6, but hasn't gone away after switching to 4.0 beta. Basically, the amazon search box keeps reverting to over the google search box and being the default when I open the browser. I've repeatedly switched the order back to the way I want it (and then closed the search with "Ok," rather than "Cancel"), but whenever I close and reopen Firefox, amazon is back on top.

I know this is pretty trivial, but with web browsers, you just want things to work and not obnoxiously ignore your preferences for no apparent reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Closed Firefox, deleted both files, reopened, got rid of the default search engines I didn't want, set the order the way I wanted it, closed Firefox and reopened it, and the order is back to what it was before.
