Yesterday my broswer updated and I now have version 36. This comes with a new search box. I had several search engines listed with different languages, now all i see in this stupid new version is the same icon, I can't see the labels anymore which had DE / FR / EN in. They all look the same now.

How do I go back to the old version? Who designed this? Some yank who can't speak any language other than english? I think I'll do what my colleagues have done and switch to chrome.

and why does this site require so many stupid steps to ask a question, and when I create an account is thinks i may have meant .com instead of .de for my email address... what kind of crap is this? Does everyone at mozilla live in america and only speak english?

Go to about:config and change browser.search.showOneOffButtons to false

It's an option in the Advanced Section of the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ if you want to check what other things with the UI you might want to undo.
