So, I just upgraded to FF 35.01 (yeah, I'm late) from FF 33-ish and I can't figure out how to use custom search engines in this version. In my old version I would just click the search tool at the top right of the browser and the list of search engines I'd added would be displayed and I could search directly on Amazon, Youtube, Wikipedia, or what have instead of having to do a Google search first. Am I missing something or is that feature gone and Google the only option now? If so, is downgrading to FF 33 a bad idea as far as performance and/or security issue go?

I use OmniBar to get rid of the search box entirely and incorporate it into my location bar. I can then choose whatever search engine I want as well as add one.

The search options in Firefox 35 have been moved into the Options.

If you want the old search UI, look at this. Prier to FF 34 (http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-new-one-click-search-bar-interface-in-mozilla-firefox/)
