Discontinued
While porting this extension to the WebExtensions standard may be possible due to Mozilla bug 1268401 being implemented in Firefox 60+, I do not see any good reason to do so anymore:
- The search settings are now easily reachable through the application preferences
- It is now easy to add engines by right-clicking any search field and selecting the corresponding menu item
- Let's be honest: How often do you change your default search engine?
This extension was originally written to make it possible to use all the search-engine related features of the browser without having to use the search bar. That can now be achieved without using this extension just as easily. For a while I simply kept this extension around in maintenance-only mode because it was easy to do so. That has now changed.
