OP hasn't said they installed Google, or that they at one point set that as default.

I never installed Google, it's just been there since forever. I mean, I can't remember how long I've been using Palemoon. It's been many years.
Could it be you use an old Palemoon profile that by now might have been used for years?PaleLuc wrote: ↑2023-11-05, 00:33I never installed Google, it's just been there since forever. I mean, I can't remember how long I've been using Palemoon. It's been many years.
So I actually used Google for some time then decided not to use it anymore so I would use a single letter shortcut in Pentadactyl to search elsewhere.

So I still hate Google, now more than ever, but at least as long as I have Pentadactyl I don't have to worry about it. I would love to find out why it won't go away, but it seems that is very difficult.

IMO, your instructions are like teaching someone to scratch his ears with his legs.
When you have a HOWTO that does accomplish the same but is much more easy with less steps and less complexity - do tell us.
If you do not plan on using Google search you could delete the Google .xml files from the searchpulgins sub-directories.
It seems there is more than one file that PM **auto repairs* on restart... so about config and text editing may not properly work...

"Add as Search Engine allows to add any search on any page to the Search Bar. It doesn't need browser restart upon installing.This add-on is forked from Add to Search Bar Firefox extension."
the addon description is not descriptive enough.
Is this addon an alternative for the default "Add to" search engine that also don't need a restart after adding an engine.
Can it detect more search forms than the default function in my screenshot?

I remember the good times of https://mycroftproject.com when it was receiving continuous engines/updates and feeback from users. Unfortunately now many engines are not updated and they will fail
