The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The button is only enabled when you've removed one of the application provided engines, which it looks like you haven't.

The only additional engines there are Qwant and Facebook, you can either remove those, or uninstall the add-ons that installed them.

YEP!
Removing one entry will enable it...

But how should a user know that?

I missed the suchicons in the search bar on top of my browser, which are usually displayed when typing something,
Until now, there always appeared only the one preset search engine.

After the reset of the search defaults, all are listed again as usual...

Thanks for the trick!
