How to add another search provider?

more options

Hi, guys! I've been using your browser for years on my PC and for roughly half a year on my cellular phone. I used to use ie, opera, chrome, but finally I've chosen your browser for PC and mobile because your app is the best!! It's unrivaled!! I have a simple question about the mobile version - how to add my favourite search provider yandex.ru to list and make its default? I've accomplished a tip from the settings but it doesn't work. And also why don't you make it much simpler by adding a button like 'Add another search site' in the settings? Aside from please give me advise how to turn on english spell checking? Thank you in advance for helping.

Your posted link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android worked out well. Thank you!

Just a recommendation about the tip in the settings of firefox-android - please be more specific. First of all we need to go to the search provider we want and just then to press and hold inside the search box of the search provider, but not inside the address line of the browser. Because for me and I think for most users a search field/box is the address line of the browser.
