Yes, that's a stupid behaviour that I see as well.  Why don't they let
users add their own search engines to their own profiles?

You can make the program's directory that they're installed to writable
by all, but I don't think it's a good idea.  For simplicity's sake I'll
do that for a moment to add engines, then go back to the normal
permissions, rather than fire up Firefox as the root user (which is slow
to do, as well as has some risks).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
