        The problem is not whether or not the site supported open search, the problem is that Firefox should have allowed me to easily and intuitively set a custom search engine. When I go into Google Chrome and want to set a search engine, I can easily figure it out. Having to change an about:config flag is not at all intuitive.

        For the record, I was trying to save my bookmarklet URL from DuckDuckGo and the open search functionality wasn’t working to save my bookmarklet query string.

          Oh yeah I see what you mean now, that is dumb.

          I didn’t realize they removed the ability to manually add a search engine (without flipping flags)

          Somebody should compile a list of flags you might wanna toggle/change on a new install of FF. Actually I imagine someone already has
