In the latest version of Firefox, the search suggestions and the search history are only a few items. There used to be a scroll bar and also a separator to distinguish between our past searches and google search suggestions. There seems to be a change in the search box. Is this permanent - and any nice search box or a toolbar to replace it?

Hello gorin.wel, you can have your "old" Search Bar again, go to about:config, copy the next bold browser.search.showOneOffButtons and paste it in the search field, now double-click on it to make it false, exit firefox and restart it.

thank you

Hi - Yes, that returned the old search bar, thank you. But when I enter a keyword again, the past search tips and keyword suggestions are not as much as it used to be - there is no scroll bar and a few keywords (around 10). Is there any reason for this? I guess this is irreversible as that changed in the new version of the Firefox?
