Often I download just to seed but only when I know the uploaders

Part of the vocal few, most people seem to agree that googles relationship to Mozilla is negative, and it doesn't matter that you'd find the answer by searching for it, what does matter is that there was a perfectly adequate solution that is now gone for no rhyme or reason, and not one person here has said why removing the option is beneficial but what ever, this conversation has become petty and I don't care for the direction you've taken

Addons, I would avoid as they make it easier to fingerprints and also its the long way around, if all I want to do is add a URL like google.com or bing then why should I add an extension

Sorry I miss typed, would it make sense to of left the custom search engine option in settings whilst also adding the ad from search bar option?

I've reinstalled Firefox to test this and followed your direction. I can't see anymore search engines than previously stated

Okay so I remember when in setting I could just add search engines, why remove that feature? Why not have the add from search bar as well as in settings?

 

So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I'd like to know why the "add search engine" feature in settings is gone?

 

Paste code to text file .sh extension and run script in the directory where jc141 are present, also install dialog

games_dir="$PWD/"

# check if the games directory exists
if [ ! -d "$games_dir" ]; then
echo "error: The 'games' directory does not exist."
