1223454 - Let users group search engines

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Will Pittenger]

Attachment: sample image of how I organized engines

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:25.7) Gecko/20151012 Firefox/31.9 PaleMoon/25.7.3
Build ID: 20151012160144

Steps to reproduce:

I have 59 search engines installed.  With that many, I need a way to organize them.  I've always relied on Organize Search Engines.  OSE development stopped at 1.7.  While that is compatible with the FF 42.x, it doesn't seem to work all that well in FF 43.

I would use OSE to set up folders and place separators in the list.  Then I had organized search engines.  How that would work with the new compact list of engines, I don't know.  You might need to treat the list as a menu with submenus.


Actual results:

I can't organize my search engines into folders with FF 43.x.


Expected results:

When you have 59 search engines, you need a way to group them.

Wrong bug, sorry about that.

Most users don't install lots of search engines, or use more than a couple. Therefore at the moment I don't think we would accept a patch for this.
