yuuunikkiThe "essential" firefox addons/scripts/ublock filters etc?
- useragent switcher
- custom search engine adders are good if you use multiple search engines
Interstellar_1Doesn’t Firefox have the second one built in?
i couldnt figure out how to. i know you can right click the url of a website to add as a search engine, but this only works if the website supports it, and many dont. you can also import/export search engines from a file
You can go into settings and select the search engine you want, you can also remove the ones you don’t want.
i get that, but i dont think you can add new ones in settings. and the settings files are cryptic to me
Huh, I don’t get what you are saying. I can just add a search engine by clicking “add new search” (or sth like that) entering a name and a URL.
i cant find where that is? what version of firefox r u on? im on Firefox 119, and its the same on Librewolf. in about:preferences > search
Hm, I thought I saw it in the desktop app, too, but apparently it’s managed differently over there. You click on “find more search engines” which leads to the add-on store (version 119). On mobile it’s different.
ah i see. i did know about it being on mobile. very strange they cant add a simple feature to the desktop version, but im sure theres a reason
