Adding Custom Search Engine - Self Hosted

Recently I started using my own self hosted search engine - LibreX...

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??)

Here is the work around I found..

Go to the about:config page

Paste browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh into the search area and set the value to True

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