Thank you, Mark.

I should point out that setting "browser.search.modernConfig" to false
does not seem to be a future-proof solution: per [0], Mozilla recently
dropped support for it, which means it will most likely not be available
in the next ESR release.

I did some digging and found the meta issue for this [1], but I have not
had a close enough look at it to know concretely how the new mechanism
works and how we are to dance to make it happy.
