Using the newest update of Firefox has given me a new searchbar, one where I can't switch search engines quickly, instead having to go into a menu to do so. This is detrimental to me since I use the search suggestions of each search engine I have installed. I cannot do that anymore. How do I switch the search bar back to the previous version?

I've found a solution. If you go into about:config, then search for the browser.search.showOneOffButtons boolean and toggle that, this restores the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)

Note that, like always, edit your about:config at your own risk.
