I am trying to add custom search engines to Firefox. I have tried the steps given in the forum thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1212596.

However when I try to go and add the search engine as per the article given above I do not get the option. Please see the attached screen shot for more details. I do not want to add an extension or a plugin, but just manually have the option of adding search engines.

That support forum thread is about the Firefox Focus web browser on Android so the settings will be different compared to (desktop) Firefox for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Here are a couple KB articles about search engines in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox

Hilfreich?

Thanks for the reply. It is strange that from Settings/Preferences one cannot add search engines. Why make it so hard. Any idea on why this was not implemented in the search section of preferences?

Hilfreich?
