I appreciate your allowing search engine selections in Firefox 23 for Android, but I had been using the "keyword.URL" setting in about.config to specify StartPage mobile search, for which there is no available search plugin. All of the StartPage search plugins using the full desktop site, and I cannot figure out any way to force the search back to the about:config options. Is there a way to use "keyword.URL" to specify the search engine in Firefox 23 for Android? (Or can someone make a StartPage addon that uses the mobile site?)

Okay; I found the mobile site search. Thanks, but I would still like to know why Firefox now ignores the about:config search setting in keyword.URL.

Starting with Firefox 23 it will no longer be possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.

You can disable automatic searching via the location bar by setting keyword.enabled to false and use keyword search to use a specific search engine instead to search via the location bar.

In Firefox 23+ the search engine used in the location bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar I'm not sure about how this all works out on mobile.
