1398629 - Cannot add an opensearch search engine from a web page using the default toolbar layout

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1221539

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Bonstra]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170910100150

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open Nightly with a blank profile
2) Type https://crates.io/ in the address bar and press return
3) Try to add crates.io to the list of search engines


Actual results:

I cannot find an easy way to add crates.io as a search engine.
I had to customize the toolbar to add the search bar, click on the magnifying glass with the + sign in the search bar, and click 'Add "Cargo"'.


Expected results:

I would have expected either of those:
- the "Page actions" menu in the address bar to contain an item such as 'Add "Cargo" to search engines'
- the context menu entry which appears on a right-click on the page background to contains an entry to add "Cargo" as search engine
- a button 'Add "Cargo" as search engine' in the address bar's "Show history" drop down menu where all search engines are listed

The search bar still allows to add an opensearch search engine from a web page, but it is absent from the default toolbar layout.

Adding search engine should be available in address bar popup, like Beyond Australis.
