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?

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:
