#TechTip you can enable manual adding of search engines in #Firefox by adding this variable in about:config:

`browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh` as `true`

Then in the search settings on about:preferences#search a new "Add" button will appear

@rail_ sometimes I worry about the things that are feature-gated in Firefox and which aren't.

Like how does this need about:config while Ebay is being repeatedly added to my search engines despite me explicitly removing it?

@rail_ did you know that you can add a bookmark as a search engine
https://github.com/jameshealyio/bang-bookmarks
someone converted duckduckgo bangs into firefox native via bookmarks, just import many thousands of bookmarks into your browser

@rail_ Finally, I can assign an alias to multiple different keyboard layouts! Thanks!
