search engine dropdown: no search engine names, no possibility to select a search engine before entering a query
Firefox 34.0, Windows.
I have some problems with the new search engine bar design.
1. I often chose a search engine BEFORE entering the search query (e.g. when dragging a picture to search for it with TinEye reverse image search or just to quickly get to the search engine start page by entering an empty query). Now it's complicated: drag a picture url into the search field, get a wrong search result with some wrong search engine, click into the search field, select TinEye, search again. Yes, I know there is a TinEye addon, but I prefer to avoid addons if I'm basically satisfied with existing onboard functionality.
Sure, I can always switch a default search engine, but it takes 5 clicks instead of 2.
2. I have 3 Wikipedia search engines (for 3 languages) - all of them have the same icon. Another 2 search engines have no icon at all. I cannot distinguish them until mousover. Very time-wasting.
Is there a sort of setting to restore a good old search engine dropdown with search engine names which also allows to select a search engine before entering a query?

Sorry sir but we have no idea to solve your problem but, If you like you can download earlier version of firefox of your choice by clicking link below :
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/]
but we suggest you to use latest one for security reasons. thanks,
To get the old search bar back:
1. Navigate to about:config (accept prompts/warnings) 2. Search for "browser.search.showOneOffButtons" 3. Change the property to false. 4. Restart Firefox.
If you miss being able to switch search engines without going crazy with menus, try this out;
Context Search {web link} Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.
I replied to a similar question a few minutes ago. I think you'll find all the details you might need, along with instructions, pictures and warnings:
