The docs on the search engine look good to me, but do we have any more information on why permissions.memory_only would be set to true? Afaik, this is set nowhere by LibreWolf. Did you add it manually? If that is the case, I am not sure if this pref specifically should belong in the FAQ. And if it got set accidentally for a subset of LibreWolf users (for whatever reason), just clearing the pref on a new version may be the better solution here.

Ah yes, it's kinda personal to me. I should have update it somewhere else such as Arkenfox.

I will drop the info about permission.memory_only.

I think this change is no longer needed since the settings now have the option to define a suggestions endpoint, am I'm correct?
