In July 2025, delivered a critical bug fix for the Add Search Engine workflow in mozilla/gecko-dev to restore contextual menu functionality, along with test-suite improvements. The changes add necessary JavaScript support for context menus and refactor tests to use a dedicated helper for opening the Add Engine dialog, enhancing readability and maintainability. This work improves user efficiency during search engine onboarding and reduces regression risk in future releases.

Major features include a Unified Search Button redesign to a type=menu toolbarbutton with native popup and single-click engine selection; expanded Add Search Engine support to POST forms with role=search; dynamic URL bar placeholder reflecting keyword.enabled; and contextual removal logic distinguishing app-provided vs user-installed engines. Supporting improvements covered RTL rendering, immediate favicon display after adding engines, and test-driven hardening of engine configuration handling.
