How do you ask a question that requires more than one sentence (although the operative limitation seems to be characters)?
Well, this answers the question above. Now for the real question. I need to return alternative search engines to my search bar and I don't want to have to start typing a search to get them (bad idea). I found the suggestion below but have no idea how to "middle click" or how to get to the "config" page mentioned. Can someone help?
If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
- If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
You can use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily and in this case you can type oneoff until you see the browser.search.showOneOffButtons pref. Preferences that have been modified and do not have the default value show as bold (user set). You can toggle this Boolean pref to false with a double-click on the line with the pref or use Modify in the right-click context menu.

That worked. Thanks, cor-el.
