See bug 1526983. If you type @, aliases for hidden engines show up, which probably shouldn't happen. This code controls which aliases appear: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/00c0d068ece99717bea7475f7dc07e61f7f35984/toolkit/components/places/PlacesSearchAutocompleteProvider.jsm#93 There's a !engine.hidden check right above that, which should probably be extended to registering aliases too.

I can confirm that this patch works as intended on Firefox Nightly. However wouldn't it be better if instead of solely hiding removed engines, the added ones would be visible as well? In other words if @ would show all the engines from Preferences tab? That solution has been mentioned in a few of the duplicate bugs.
