With FF 23 searching in the location bar performs a search with the currently selected engine in the search bar. I find the behaviour annoying, as I sometimes select different engines in the search bar if needed, but most often I just need quick google searches that I perform from the location bar wihout need to change the search engine.

Is there a way to customise the behaviour, so that the search in the location bar points always to one engine, independently from the engine that is selected in the search bar?

hello tadolo, you'd have to use an addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/ to get back the old behaviour.
