Since version 149, the search box in the address-bar has a different behavior and layout. There may be cases, when this behaviour is better, but I don't get it. In my use-case, I have got to do several more clicks to select the correct search engine with every search.

How to get the old style & behaviour back:

enter: about:config in the address-bar. confirm security question. search the entry: browser.search.widget.new and set it to 'false'

No restard needed.  :-) Thank you, Firefox developers!

Would be great to have a checkbox in the settings and the option if you want your familiar solution changed. (add this at the bottom of the new select search-engine dropdown.)

We hate this useless so-called feature and you've completely failed to give us an OFF switch! It's been many months with countless complaints and still no OFF switch! We've had this conversation before, all of your ideas must come with an OFF switch, especially so for the dumb ones like tab pinning! You don't ever force this dumb crap on us, ever!

Where is the fkin OFF switch already!?!?!?

I posted this and was told it was ;posted, but then I got a not found error when I tried to view it, so I'm trying again.

I set a site to use firefox as the default app for ftp not realizing ftp support was removed from the browser. I have been trying to get the dialog back that will allow me to change it. I downloaded filezilla to use for ftp. However, I am unable to get the dialog back that will allow me to change apps.

Can someone help me get the dialog back? And, before anyone suggests it, resetting firerfox to the default settings is not an option.
