Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Open Nightly 
2. Go to about:preferences#search
3. Click at "Find more search engines"
4. Select search engine and click at "Add to Firefox" button.

Expected Result:
The add-on is successfully installed and added to the list of available engines and is properly set as a default search engine.

Actual Result:
No response.
This issue is also reproducible on Mac OS X 10.14, Ubuntu 16.04. 
We also tested on Windows 7 and here the search engine is added but you are not prompted with the pop-up where you are informed that the add-on is added. 
This issue is not reproducible on FF Beta 64 and FF release 63, we did a regression window and here si the result:

Summary: Can not add more search engines. → Can not add more search engines from AMO
After discussion, we should flip the pref back for nightly as well until we have a better long term plan.

We should also verify that the deprecation message is displaying.

We should also communicate with the AMO and mycroft folks the longer term plan here.

Deprecate AddSearchProvider and keep it enabled in nightly.

deprecate_addSearchProvider.patch

Do we want to keep the UseCounter? Can we do both?

We cannot. "Deprecated" implies "UseCounter".
