I just upgraded to Firefox 34.0 (on Windows 7) so I got the new search box UI with the one-click buttons. When I start typing a search and then hit the Down key or mouse over the suggestions, it highlights the relevant suggestion. So far so good. If I then hit the Delete key, what I want to happen is that a letter is deleted in the search box (where my cursor is still active; if I hit any other keys it types there). What actually happens is that the highlighted search suggestion gets deleted.

I couldn't care less about removing search suggestions. All I want is for my delete key to work on the active field. How can I revert this?

That is how deleting items from a drop-down list works. If an entry is highlighted and you press the Delete key then the highlighted item is removed. To avoid that you can use the backspace key instead or press ESC to close the drop down.

Hmm, okay. For some reason I've been running into this all day today after upgrading and I've never noticed that behavior before. I guess something about the new design is changing my behavior slightly.
