Built-in search extensions are hidden in about:addons, cannot be disabled or uninstalled but are listed among normal user-installed extensions in about:support. This extra clutter makes it harder to identify what is actually different from the default configuration.

It seems they would be better suited to the system extension list ("Firefox Features") or perhaps a different category dedicated to search extensions or maybe even not appear at all like theme extensions.

Bugbug thinks this bug is a enhancement, but please change it back in case of error.
