    The Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox article was recently updated for Firefox 34 and added fx34 screenshots showing a new Search panel in Firefox Options. I checked it out in Firefox 34 Beta 11 and here's a screenshot on Windows 7: Fx34Options-Search [[Image:Fx34Options-Search]]

    I noticed that clicking the Help button takes me to https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/34.0/WINNT/en-US/prefs-search which results in a 404 error (Page Not Found).

    Is a new article being written for this new Options panel?

    Joni, I found a related bug so it looks like you're aware of it, and that you're planning to eventually make the Help link go to the Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox article.

    • Bug 1102398 - the "?" button under about:preferences#search points to the "General" tab support article

    Note that entering about:preferences#search in the Firefox 34 address bar and pressing the help ? link redirects you HERE as the bug report noted. Clicking the Help button from the Options window Search Panel is a 404 error, like I said before (this new comment in the bug report mentions that also).

    Since no new article is needed I'll lock this thread, as discussion belongs in the Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox article.
