Adding search engines to Ff that are not on the list

rossdorn · 10-19-2018, 03:45 PM

I need to add three more Wikipedia versions (in other languages) to the english one in the search engines... how can I do that?
The page about search engines, does not say anything about it, do you happen to know that?

Thank you

There's a link to "Find more search engines" at the bottom of the about:preferences#search page.

Putting "add search engine firefox" into your favorite search engine returns several links. Have you looked at any of those?
The one at support.mozilla.org seems pretty clear.

I followed the offered oinstructions on LINUX Firefox. There I get at the bottom of the page a list of nonsense offered, but not what I want to use... so I asked a question.

I apologize for that

Simplest way is to go to the Wikipedia page, like if I go to https://fr.wikipedia.org, then you see a green + symbol with the magnifying lens. That means you can click on the magnifying lens and see the option to add it.

Thank you, worked just fine.

OP, no apology necessary. ‘Tho I’ll point out that the solution offered by Mike25 was on the page I suggested.
