Search bar bug?

This is just a minor annoyance, but after updating to version 35 (now 35.0.1), the search bar's green go/search button always opens the drop-down search options. It still does a functional search, but the only way to avoid opening the options is to click the suggestions. Is there a point to this or is it an unnoticed glitch? This can get quite frustrating when "redoing a search" after browsing something else...

hi MJV1989, thanks for bringing this up. i can reproduce the issue with firefox 35, however it's no longer there in firefox 36 beta. i'm not sure if the glitch has been addressed specifically or if it is gone as a by-product of some other change though... firefox 36 will be released in two weeks time, but you could also try it with firefox beta right now: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/

Okay, so maybe it'll be gone by the time FF36 is released... Thanks for the help, don't think I'll be trying the Beta though...
