I still miss the ability to add a custom search engine in Firefox Desktop, which has been there in Firefox for Android for years. Kinda weird that Android has an option the desktop version lacks of. Or do I need to enable dev mode or something in the config?

Clicking "find more search engines" only leads to the addons page. On android however, you can add your own site and you can then directly search it from the address bar, for example I added https://www.m.dict.cc/?s=%s to quickly lookup dict.cc for translations, it directly searches for the word I type in.

So they moved how they do it.
I just added one.

I went to the site that had a search bar on it.
On the search bar of firefox the magnifying glass changed to add a green plus symbol.
I right clicked on it and there was an icon for the page I was on also with the green plus.
Click that and it adds it to firefox.
I am on version 130.0

This doesn't appear to work on everything however it did work for the site I wanted it to, help.mikrotik.com/
