Well it broke again, and again I can confirm it is likley gtk related, and here's why. Now like most KDE desktop users, I assume, I try to pull in as a few gtk based packages as possible. That said for GTK compatability, I generaly try to pull in all the gtk2-engines-* and gtk3-engines* so that when I play with GTK themes in the GTK config I am not missing any dependencies fot GTK themes. Directly after installing the GTK Engines and restarting firefox the search engine icons disapeareared with the add on installed.

Trying to test this further, I purged the firefox installer that comes with Kubuntu, pined the blue shell ppa, installed firefox and firefox-kde-support from blue shell ppa. Next, I installed the organize search engine add on. Then ,I installed each gtk2 and gtk 3 engine one by one restarting firefox between each and every theme install. Once I was done installing each and every engine, the add on still worked when I restarted firefox. So I tried adding kmozzillahelper, restart firefox, and icons still work. Last but not least, I go to GTK+ Config in System Settings->Application appearance. I selected the xfce-4.6 theme from from both drop down boxes. And finally after all that work..the search engine icons break! So again, I have tracked this down to something GTK related. Any ideas why gtk config breaks the add on?

The answer was painfully obvious.....Application Appearance -> GTK+ Config -> Show Icons in GTK Menus..
