I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed w/ snapshot 20240523, Firefox 126.0 (.rpm) and GNOME 46.1. On Firefox, the `browser.gnome-search-provider.enabled` parameter is set to true, while "Firefox" is listed as an enabled search provider on GNOME (Settings -> Search). The "GNOME shell integration" extension is also enabled, although I'm not sure it is required. Despite my premises, Firefox simply does not appear as a search provider when trying to search through GNOME. I've tried searching for solutions or at least for people with the same issue and found out this article from a Fedora: https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2023/10/13/q3-firefox-linux-update/ although I have no idea how to correctly follow the steps he described. I can only state that the Mozilla Firefox Search Provider service indeed is _not_ "Activatable".
