I'm also noticing this green "+" sign next to the search bar - how do I get rid of that? Thanks.

If the website offers a search engine then you will notice a green plus next to the search engine icon and an "Add..." item in the search engine menu that opens if you click this button.

See my post here:


userChrome.css:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.searchbar-search-button {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/search-indicator.png") !important;
}

If you want to revert changes made to the search bar and have the standalone search engine manager window then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.

  • browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false

Close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.
