A user.js file is handy for configuring Firefox settings, especially for mass deployment and/or to save having to hunt through about:config etc.

As far as I'm aware, you're restricted from setting the search engine via user.js or even about:config, even though you can set almost any/every other setting this way.

From memory it was restricted due to concerns of mis-use.

Hoping we can get the functionality revisited 👍

If you are deploying to an enterprise, then you should use the enterprise distributions with enterprise policies set-up. See here for more information: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/enterprise/
