additional search engines cannot be added, yielding "Download Error" instead #92

In Arctic Fox 39.0, attempting to add a search engine from the Pale Moon search plugins page yields a "Download Error", and the search engine is not added. This is a problem if you want to have Google search integrated into a new installation of Arctic Fox.

I regressed this against Pale Moon 27.9.4 and it has the identical issue, so I imagine that's where the problem lies. Search engines can be added normally with the latest version of Pale Moon (29.4.4).

Thank you for continuing to develop and provide Arctic Fox!

This isn't an Arctic Fox issue. The Pale Moon team have made it impossible to install their add-ons and extensions on any browser but Pale Moon. To use google or bing from within duckduckgo just use the built in feature. Type: !g for google results, or !b for bing results.

Got it. That's a bummer. Thanks for the workaround.
