Since my Firefox upgrade, when I click "Manage Search Engines" and then "Get more search engines", I am brought to the "Add-Ons" page. There I find no way to get to a page to get more search engines. In the past this was possible. How to do this now?

Reproducible: Always

Bugzilla isn't meant for support questions though, in the future use http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1?openpost=1

Mine is not a "support" question, but a bug, something that doesn't work as it is supposed to.

Your "solution" is the same as the bug I described. Clicking your "solution" is the same as clicking "Get more search engines": I don't get a page where I could find and add new search engines, but I get the "add-ons" page where there are NO search engines to be found.

Please attach a screenshot of the page which gets opened when you press "Get more search engines".

I attach 2 screen shots.......separately, because your form only allows one screenshot at the time. This is a very confusing form, I must say.

The first screenshot: check the URL. 
It automatically changes into the second screenshot.

And exactly the list of items you can see here are search engines.

Indeed, now it is correct and shows the search engines.
Difference is that I now have Firefox 3.6.8 and earlier on 3.6.7. That may be the only explanation (to me) I didn't get the search engines, but the add-ons page.
Bottom line: problem solved.
