Even though I have unchecked the one-click search engine checkbox in Options/Search, I've suddenly found that Firefox has started showing the choose-your-search-engine-and-change-search-settings dropdown menu whenever I start typing something in to the search box.

I haven't been able to find any immediate solutions on the web and I am a bit lost for ideas.
