Adding searx as search-engine in Firefox mobile #60

When i try to add a searx search engine and put the search string "https://searx.be/?q=%s", it says "Error connecting to searx". This was resolved some time ago, and now it resurfaced,,, Similar issue as https://github.com/searx/searx-docker/issues/48

The user agent used when adding Searx has changed and his now Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:83.0) Gecko/83.0 Firefox/83.0. We need to whitelist this user agent in the rules.

Here are the headers sent by Firefox android when adding Searx as a search engine:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:83.0) Gecko/83.0 Firefox/83.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Accept-Language: en-US
Te: trailers

@MrHappy a PR has been opened https://github.com/searx/searx-docker/pull/61 but the fix is already included on searx.be so you may try again and give me your results.
