Why has the dropdown list of search engines changed from a straightforward list to a field of indistinguishable icons?
Until the most recent update the dropdown listing of available sites in the search box was easily legible and simple to use. Being able to target one's searches so readily and conveniently was one of Firefox's most attractive features.
Now I'm confronted with a panel of mostly indecipherable and in many cases confusingly similar icons. I hate it and want my simple verbal listing back!
Yes, mousing over the icons and hovering will reveal what they represent. But having to do this every time makes what was a quick, convenient routine irritatingly slow and clunky.
Please at least let us choose whether to have icons or a simple listing. Please...

I add:
When I begin to type a word to search, and I want to change the search engine, the click to the new engine starts the search. I prefer the old fashion: Just change the search engine and continue to type. So the search suggest are done with the new engine.
this is a solved thread - further off-topic comments aren't necessary if you need help with the new Search Bar scheme that came with Firefox 34, please start your own questions thread here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new
