Adding Custom Search Engine - Self Hosted

When I went to add it as the default search engine for Firefox on the desktop - I found that the option to add custom search engines gone (replaced with a 'smarter' way??)

Now when you go to the Settings page, you should see an Add button to add a custom search engine (like you used too...)
