Why doesn't firefox use searx.me as its default search engine and doesn't even offer it as a suggestion, as suggest Bing, Yahoo, Google and others?

That didn't work for me, searx homepage would open but it would not run the query. This is how I solved it:

~ about:config

browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh = true

~ about:preferences#search - Add

engine name = searx

engine URL = https:///search?q=%s

engine alias = @s
