Details

Steps to reproduce:

  • Enable browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh
  • Go to about:preferences#search
  • Try to add about:reader?url=%s as a search engine

Actual results:

Nothing.

Expected results:

For many years, about:reader?url=%s has worked fine as a bookmark keyword.

This is very useful because it lets us open articles directly in Reader View, e.g. about:reader?url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestubbs/2024/04/25/escape-from-tarkov-fans-are-outraged-at-new-250-pay-to-win-edition/

Please accept it as a search engine too before deprecating bookmark keywords.
