Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox 82.0.2 and 82.03 Manjaro Gnome testing / Ubuntu 20.04 /
language-file (de) (82.0buildid20201108180448).

1.) Delete search-engine "Amazon" and "ebay".
Close FF with Files / close
Open FF
Close FF with Files / close
Open FF
--> "Amazon" and "ebay" is back again. (Standard = unchanged)

2.) Delete search-engine "Amazon" and "ebay".
Close FF by closing all tabs OR the close gadget.
Open FF
Close FF by closing all tabs OR the close gadget.
Open FF
Search engines stay, nothing altered

3.) Set FF language to english and remove german lang-file.
Delete search-engine "Amazon" and "ebay".
Close FF with Files / close
Open FF
Close FF with Files / close
Open FF
Result: Search engines stay, nothing altered

Actual results:

Search-engines are restored to default, if you have any language-pack installed
AND close FF by Menu-entry "Quit".

Expected results:

Search engines stay, nothing altered

On Windows 10 Firefox 82.03 and german lang-pack 20201014125134 this does not happen.
Copying this *.xpi to any Linux distribution does not help; as soon as any language-file is added, Firefox restores deleted search-engines
at second start.

Please can you clarify what is different between 1) and 2)?

Also, between restarts of the broken case, please can you check what the browser.search.region preference is set to, by going to about:config and searching for it there.
