How to restore the old Firefox Search box

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Can't stand the new "one-click" search box in Firefox 34.

Simple way to restore the old one:

- Enter about:config in address bar
- Search for "browser.search.showOneOffButtons" and change value from true to false.

I don't know about you, but I kept doing searches in the new one and somehow it thought I was clicking on Wolfram Alpha. Annoying as hell. Old search works fine. I wish they'd stop changing things.
