ruma robomatic, hace 2 añosExcellent addon for not only adding your own search engines to Firefox but also for backing up and importing them (whenever you move to a new PC or after a format). Thanks Dev!!
Tip: when exporting your search engines, it asks you to locate the "search.json.mozlz4" file.
This file can be found if you:
type Run in the Start Menu,
open the Run app,
then type %appdata% which opens your user folder,
then open Mozilla / Firefox / Profiles / xxxxxxxx.default-release
(xxxxxxxx will be a bunch of random numbers and letters)
I usually create a shortcut of that last folder and place it on my desktop, then hit Browse from this addon and double click the shortcut to get there. Easy peasy.

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma LiberaEspero, hace 4 mesesРаботает как часы! Смог наконец-то понадобавлять нужные мне системы поиска, которые Firefox по умолчанию за таковые не считает
- Rated 1 out of 5ruma Ed Love, hace 4 mesesFar too ridiculously complex! Why not just make it SIMPLE to export?! Geez :(
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Virginwidow, hace 4 mesesNicely made and well documented. The best - perhaps only - "workaround" for the now broken open-search-xml engines
- Rated 1 out of 5ruma blanquefort, hace 5 mesesUnfortunately it doesnt work in newest FF on Mac (133.0, aarch64).

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 15286296, hace un añoMerely _defining_ a custom search with this addon is trivial.
But nothing in any bit of documentation I've been able to lay hands on tells me how to do any of the following:
* Add this custom search to Firefox' list of default searches.
* Replace ordinary Firefox search with my just-defined custom search in the search window.
* Use the newly defined custom search in any practical way whatsoever.
The newly defined custom search simply vanishes. Without a referent or any practial means of actually sending it the search query I type into the search bar.
The icon shows up nowhere. The name of the custom search shows up nowhere.
The documentation on github leads me down a blind alley.
This addon does not appear to have any practical use. - Rated 1 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 18314556, hace un año

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Meiower, hace 2 añosWorked first time!! Amazing! I'd like to see on the "Add a new search engine" page a note against the "Search name" field that this is the 'Full name' of the search, and you go into the " about:preferences#search" page to add the @keyword in a separate step -- to remind me next time -- but it's easy enough to figure out; especially as, at least, Firefox makes it easy to remove mis-named engines! :-D
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma protoforma, hace 2 añosJust amazing. I'm coming from "Add custom search engine" by Tom Schuster, however, I find this extension more funcionality that I'm looking for (e.g. adding from site's search bar, exporting...).
