How to manage search engines in Firefox 34.0.5???

more options

I have been using Firefox for sometime now but the latest version has messed up the search bar. I have already seen quite a few posts related to this but no of them fix my current problem.

I use and addon called 'add to search' it allows me to take search bars on many websites and add them as search engines. It also allows you to set keywords for the different search engines. In version 33 and lower when you click manage search engines it is possible to shift the order of the search engines, edit their keywords, remove them and even rename them. With the update to version 34.0.5 all this functionality is lost. The keywords still operate, but I am unable to edit them or remove/rename search engines I have added. Does anyone know how this can be done? I would like to be able to change the keywords and I would also like to be able to remove search engines I have added and at this point Mozilla has made that hard.

Any ideas?
