Address bar in Firefox 140 doesn't let me select search engines using up and down arrows

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?

When the cursor is in the address bar, you can focus the new search engine selector by first using Shift+Tab before using the arrow keys. What do you think - can you get used to that workflow?

Thank you! It's (for my use) not as good as the previous design, but at least it's still faster than using the mouse, so I can probably get used to it.

Hey, I found a solution for the problem. Type about:config in the URL bar, search for browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride and set it to false.
