To modify the Search engines in Firefox 45.1.1 ESR:


Extract the Setup.exe (using e.g. 7zip)
Inside the extracted Setup Package you find "core\browser\omni.ja"
be aware there are zwo "omni.ja" Files, pick the right one in
core\browser\omni.ja

extract the omni.ja into a directory by using Infozip unzip.exe as follows:
unzip omni.ja -d omni.ja.extracted

Infozip: https://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/


inside "omni.ja.extracted" you find:
chrome\en-US\locale\browser\searchplugins\...
delete all Files there you don't like and add your own searchplugins as
you like
modify the textfile list.txt by using for example notepad++ (be aware
the file is UNIX-Style newline and UTF8 w/o BOM, Notepad++ handles this
correct)


now generate the patched omni.ja from scratch using zip.exe of infozip Package. 
First delete the current omni.ja, then generate a new one by using following 
Syntax:
Open a Command-prompt inside the "omni.ja.extracted" directory, from there:
..\infozip\zip.exe -qr9XD ..\omni.ja *

... * = all contents of the current directory "omni.ja.extracted"
relatively stored inside omni.ja


Warning: Just patching omni.ja by deleting single files by using zip.exe
-d omni.ja "chrome\en-US\locale\browser\searchplugins\xyz.xml" doesn't
work, Firefox will not work correct afterwards.

Building the omni.ja as described from scratch tested in depth - runs fine.

If you are using additional Language-Packs as Add-Ons do the same ad
these *.XPI-Files there.

regards,
Gunnar
