Actual results:

My non-default search engines disappeared.

Expected results:

My non-default search engines should be preserved.

When you went into troubleshooting mode, did Firefox revert to English? If so, I think this is a duplicate of bug 1715691.

Yes. Firefox reverts to english.
Additional info : this is a synced profile, 3 devices, one which is seldom used (Windows XP last supported release) last used 10 month ago, passwords sync broken IIRC.
The 2 other sides often used and synced OK until recently. These 2 are same FF release (ubuntu FF snap 122 ATM), and both switch to english on troubleshooting.
In bug 1715691 :mak makes a good description
So yes this bug is a duplicate, sorry my search keywords were not precise enough.

No problem, I'd rather have it logged and find it is a duplicate, than not logged at all.
