Awesome Bar search not working properly

Firefox Settings

When I try to search from the Awesome Bar, instead of searching with Ixquick (which I set in about:config), it searches the currently active engine in the Search Bar. I have Firefox Portable 23.0 (by PortableApps.com) and run it on Windows 8.

That is a new feature in Firefox 23.
