You can write your own plugin. It's a simple XML-file that you put into the directory 'searchplugins' in your profile directory. A description of the format can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...ns_for_Firefox and if you have one or more unusual search engines added to ff you can use the file(s) already in that directory as templates.

Thanks Holger. It is pleasant to receive instructions from knowledgeable people.
I will have to read again and again the provided link and then try my luck, as for a beguinner, will have to find out where-how to write the XML plugin, (and what is XML) if on the terminal, or plain text, then look for where the plugins reside in such profile directory, then locate ´śearchplugins´ and paste/add. Never done such surgery before. Will be interesting to see what color my goofing will be.

I will not complain if there is extra hand-holding guidance.

By the way, ' thefind.com' is not a search engine; is just a page I use frequently and would like to search within. If such action is possible.

You can use this. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...Smart+keywords
It is not perfect since it depends on bookmark, which means it won't work if you turn off bookmark suggestions.

I am having a problem with Firefox 38.0 where webpages vertically scroll when I use my touchpad to move the cursor within the page. This happens even when I do not use the scrollbar. Is there any way of locking the scrollbar? I have tried disabling auto-scroll and even using scr Lk without success, the page still randomly moves up or down and needs constantly repositioning.

Be aware Firefox 44 breaks themes. They just don't look right.

See attached.

I had very minor issues which I could fix without asking for help but here's someone who has problems with dark themes: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...?f=9&t=2986985

Yeah maybe some sort of transparency issue.
