I have the latest verison of Firefox and the search bar changed how do I change it back?
I have Firefox 43.0.1 and I had the old search bar (I was able to change it before) on it for awhile but it changed on me today after an update and I don't know how to change it back, I tried everything. If anyone can help me that would be good. Thanks

There do seem to be some random changes in the way the Search Bar works.This may not be what you want but try entering the search term first and then selecting the particular search engine you wish to use from the drop down menu..
The 'new' Search Bar was part of the Firefox 34 update. "browser.search.showOneOffButtons" was a temporary pref starting in Firefox 34. The underlying code that supported that preference is gone as of Firefox 43.
You can get the old Search Bar back by using this extension, but it changes a hell of a lot more than merely the Search Bar. It was initially created to "restore" the Firefox 4.0 thru 28 "theme". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ has an option for Old search (experimental) in Classic Theme Restorer [in the Add-ons Manager or the Tools menu] Options > General UI (1)
