Firefox unfortunately does not have an interface to add them. In fact, they [recently even dropped](https://www.fxsitecompat.dev/en-CA/docs/2020/window-external-addsearchprovider-is-now-a-dummy-function/) the API for programmatically adding them.  \nThe suggested workaround is to [create an addon](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/chrome_settings_overrides) that adds your custom search engines. Unfortunately, one addon can only add a single search engine. That doesn't exactly scale well.\n\nThis leaves [OpenSearch descriptions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch) as the only sort-of viable method. So, here are my custom search engines as OpenSearch descriptions.\n\nThis repo contains a very simple script that generates a webpage exposing my custom search engines as OpenSearch descriptions. They are generated from the [`engines.json` file](engines.json). Run the script using: `node build.js`  \nA live version is available at: [search-engines.bn.al](https://search-engines.bn.al/)\n\nMy search engines probably aren't useful for you. Feel free to try them, though.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is so simple, it likely cannot even be copyrighted. Just in case, I am releasing it under a CC0 license, though. See the [`LICENSE` file](LICENSE) for more details.  \nIf you have any suggestions, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbaltpeter%2Fcustom-search-engines","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbaltpeter%2Fcustom-search-engines","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbaltpeter%2Fcustom-search-engines/lists"}
