User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

In the one-click search engines preferences, it's not clear at all that you can click the blue check marks to disable engines.

Expected results:

Add boxes so each check mark resembles a standard checkbox control.

It's even worse if you previously disabled all engines and then forgot about it.

Nothing indicates that you could click on the space on the left to get them to show up again.

Hi Michael, what do you think about putting an "Enabled" label at the top of the checkbox column?

The checkboxes actually control the visibility of each search engine in the This time search with list.

Unchecking an item hides it, but does not disable it altogether. You can still use its shortcut.
