Thank you for your interest in Firefox! We love hearing ideas from the community and implementing them when we can. Adding and removing search engines is complex and can implicate legal agreements, so we might not be able to act on all community suggestions. In the meantime, Firefox is very customizable and it could be possible for you to customize it with the search engines that matter to you most: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox.
