No it's not new, I think they were just trying to say they like the feature.

Considering how the title came out I wouldn't be surprised if they think it is new.

They should remove the words “adding the”. So the sentence would be “I really appreciate Firefox ability to enable custom search”. The way they phrase it sounds like Firefox has recently added the custom search engine function.
