Trying to see what is enabled by default here.

:mbeier, is this now user facing? If yes, could you consider nominating this for a release note? (Process info)

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Useful new feature
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: Firefox now supports adding your own custom search engines. Just right-click a search field of a supported website and select Add Search Engine, or go to Settings > Search > Add (below the search shortcuts table) to manually enter a search URL.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: We will add a SUMO article before the release.

Thanks, added to the Fx140 nightly release notes, please allow 30 minutes for the site to update.
Keeping the relnote-firefox flag as ? to keep it on the radar for inclusion in the final Fx140 release notes.

I was able to verify that pref is not true on Win11 using Firefox builds: 137.0 and 138.0.3.
Verified that pref is set to true on Win11/Ubuntu24.04 using Firefox builds 140.0b2 and 141.0a1.
