in the menu bar at the top, there's the search bar. I have a lot of searchengines, and they show up when you press on the magnifying glass.

however since the latest update i guess. I only see the icons of my searchengines.

Is it possible to get them back vertically with text on the right of the icons. because i had them arranged in a specific order and knew exactly where the click when i performed a specific search.

now with only icons, it is more difficult because i have to hover over them to see the text which icon wich searchengine is.

so, i hope i can get them back to show up vertically :) with accompanied text.

best regards, dinny

Chosen solution

That is the new Search Bar scheme which was introduced in Firefox 34, back in early December.

You can revert to the former scheme like this.

Open up about:config (typed in the Location Bar) Right-click and toggle this preference to false

browser.search.showOneOffButtons

Then restart Firefox.
