I tried to install several search engines and I always this anoying message: Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plugin.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

This is the same kind of error I have seen SeaMonkey users get.
The DoNotTrackPlus extension has been reported to cause this error.
Check out these add-ons;
Add to Search Bar {web link} Make any pages' search functionality available in the Search Bar
Context Search {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.
