Create a search engine
It is no longer possible to add a custom search engine. That's a very, very user unfriendly decision.
So I want to create my own search engine "addon". Where can I find instructions/tools for doing this?
Many thanks in advance.

What would it do?
There is some work behind the scenes to allow users who do not display the search bar to add a website's OpenSearch plugin from the Page Actions (•••) menu or from the One-Off button bat at the bottom of the address bar drop-down. This is moving slowly, so Firefox 60 at the earliest, maybe Firefox 61.
I use Mycroft to create new or edit search engines.
