Thank-you for the help. I am not sure if I put this is the right spot or not, but I wanted to take the time to say thank-you to the people who answered :

"Chosen solution

If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page. 

   about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false

Close and restart Firefox to the change effective. "


I LOVE Firefox but it is so frustrating when I can't just right click and "paste and search"

i have to do A LOT of searching for work and I had to switch to chrome for a few days until I found this solution because the new search box messed with our internal software (sorry I would tell you more but I don't really understand computers that much, but I am so glad to have my old friendly fox back!!!)... Thanks guys, Brit

thanks for the feedback - since your question doesn't really contain any other request for support, i'm going to close the thread...
