Address bar no longer lets me select a search engine using the up and down arrows

After upgrading to Firefox 140, I can no longer use the down arrow to quickly select a different search engine.

For example, if I want to search for something on Wikipedia instead of my default DuckDuckGo, I used to just type the search term, press the down arrow twice and hit enter. If I wanted to search for a youtube video, I'd hit the down arrow three times, etc. The selector for different search engines in the address bar seems to have changed in a way that no longer allows this sort of quick and easy keyboard-only method. Is there a way to re-enable the use of up and down arrows to quickly select a different search engine?
