Hi, other than the default search engines, I tried adding some more to Firefox in the options. The method I did this was, say I need to add Yandex search engine, I went to yandex.com https://yandex.com and clicked the three dots and the address bar and selected "add search engine" but when i go to options>search, the engines i added are in the drop down list (1), but not in the grid table (2)where you can add a keyword or remove the engine.

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, the grid does not have maximum size or limit. In the screenshot there is a scrollbar on the right-hand side of the grid.

Did you try scrolling the grid table? As far as I can tell the top 11 search engines are in the grid, and there's a scroll bar there.

No, I think the grid was full. Removing some of the default search engines like Chambers, eBay and Amazon helped.

Oh, okay. My bad for not looking at it more carefully, so many search engines could be added!
