#9101: about:home search is broken

In Tor Browser, the search feature of Mozilla's about:home page does not
work. Clicking the Search button does nothing. There are multiple
problems:
1) Mozilla uses LocalStorage to pass info about the default search engine
to about:home. They only set the info once (during browser "first run")
and since the Tor Browser does not write LocalStorage to disk the info is
lost.
2) The about:home search code does not support engines which use POST
(Startpage is configured to use POST).
Should we remove about:home from the Tor Browser?
Should we fix these problems (probably not too difficult now that we know
what they are)?
