User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141127111021 Steps to reproduce: Here are a few suggestions of improvements for new search bar, to make the ""Manage Search Engines" button" add-on unnecessary and the functionalities better integrated. - When using the down arrow to select an engine, the name of the highlighted engine should appear in the menu. - Use Ctrl+clic (or ctrl+enter) on an engine should run the search AND set the selected engine as default. This is useful when making several searches on the same engine. - Add an entry in the menu to open the "manage engines" dialog to allow setting keyword, ordering and removing engines.

That's what the bottom item does? On current nightly/beta, you can edit keywords and remove engines, as well as reorder them by dragging.

Like Gijs said, this opens the search in a new tab (since bug 1106101). > - Add an entry in the menu to open the "manage engines" dialog to allow > setting keyword, ordering and removing engines. I expect to remove the manage engines dialog completely in Firefox 38, now that all its features are integrated directly in the search preference pane (since bug 1106559).

Seems not having any use for this case in Nightly. Note : in the current nightly, Ctrl-click opens a new tab, but not ctrl-enter. > That's what the bottom item does?

I think this would leave us with users who triggered it by accident and don't understand how come their default search engine was changed. So I would prefer this specific behavior to be done with an add-on. I'm hoping bug 1110678 (ctrl+up/down to change default engine) will help for the use case you mentioned though :).
