Currently on the latest version. Either this version or a version before seems to have broken a functionality that's been there for years. With the search bar, you can have it empty, and select a search option, say, Youtube, and it'll open up YouTube. If you have a search term in the search window, obviously it'll open youtube in the search page with those search terms. I've used this for years and years to quickly go to pages such as YouTube, Amazon, etc, without having to have a separate bookmark.

Now, if you have the search bar empty and click on YouTube, or Amazon, or any other installed search option, it doesn't default open that page. It only opens when you have something typed into this.

Idk if this is a "feature update" or bug, but it's worked the same way for years, and now no longer does.

drummerdude152002, yes Mozilla recently removed some search box functions.

If you want Mozilla to make a change (or undo a change) then the best place to voice your opinion is on their official feedback forum, Mozilla Connect.

There are already threads on this subject there: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/independent-search-box-toolbar-no-longer-lets-you-hit-enter-to/td-p/62106 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/restore-ability-to-click-thru-to-search-engine-in-firefox-search/idi-p/64532

So if you wanted to, you could give kudos to (i.e. upvote) the opening posts of those threads and / or state your opinions there, as Mozilla uses that site to gauge interest in ideas via karma and comments.
