Search Bar Behavior Change
It used to be that when entering a search term in the search bar, you could use the arrow keys to select the search engine before pressing enter to make the experience entirely from the keyboard. Now, one must use the mouse to select the engine to be used. It also does not revert to the default search engine after executing the search.
I attempted to set *browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride* to false, and that did not work. I noticed that I had been involuntarily enrolled in an experimental study: Address Bar Update Rollout v1•rollout Address Bar Experience Update which may be the cause of this unwelcome behavior change. If exiting out of that study is possible to restore the previous functionality, please advise how to achieve this.
Please advise how to bring back this work flow efficiency.
(I am not referring to the address bar.)

NathanHale411, with the new searchbar you can use alt+up and down to move between search options. In fact, you only need to press alt+down once to open the menu, and then just up and down.
In the menu you can also press the first letter of the search engine to jump straight to it. e.g. D for DuckDuckGo.
Hopefully an option to not remember the last used engine will be added in the future.

Also, you might be able to revert back to the original searchbar by changing "browser.search.widget.new" to FALSE in about:config, but this is likely to stop working at some point.

Thank you. This reverted it.
The continued theft of workflow efficiencies and layout preferences by the mozilla devs is bordering on harassment.
