Currently, users have to go to use addons or other pre-build code to add a search engine to Firefox. I'm suggesting that you allow users to create their own search engines, using a wizard or dialog box, as users may wish to search sites that aren't categorized as "Search Engines" (i.e.: Custom searches, using operators like: SEARCH STRING site:example.com )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drop down the search box...
2. Click on "Manage Search Engines".
Actual Results:  
Users are redirected to the Mozilla Addons website.

Expected Results:  
Allow users to choose an addon, or create their own customized search using a dialog box or wizard.
