Per Mozilla's Bugzilla page, after I reported this there, it's likely an issue with the Firefox in MX as they can't reproduce the issue.

Taking a look at this now and this is due to the "distribution.ini" file we ship with firefox to setup preloaded bookmarks etc. Here is the pertinent section from that file:JayM wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:42 am There's a problem with 66.0.3. When in Preferences/Search you click on "Find more search engines" at the bottom you are taken to a Google search page instead of to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/ . The problem is that in about:config the default value foris https://www.google.com but in Firefox in other distros it's the addons.mozilla.org page.

I'll see what I can (break) doJayM wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 12:31 am Thanks Mike. I just tested with a fresh copy of Firefox that I downloaded from Mozilla and theirs takes me to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/ so that's probably what it should also be in MX's Firefox )unless others think differently.)
I tested and after changing that value in the distribution.ini file then restarting Firefox, clicking that link in Preferences/Search took me to the add-ons search engines page as expected.
Check the release notes page for more info.Firefox 67 demonstrates improved performance thanks to a number of changes such as:
Lowering priority of setTimeout during page load
Delayed component initialization until after start up
Painting sooner during page load but less often
Suspending unused tabs
