Indicator on search tool bar no longer displayed, resets to default after every search; I hate this and want to change it back to previous setting..
It seems that the most recent update has changed the way the search toolbar works. Previously, is displayed which search engine was being used and remained on that search engine until I changed it. Now it resets to the default engine forcing me to reset the engine I'm currently using every time I open a new tab to search on that engine. I would like to reset it to the previous style. How?

You can go into about:config, then search for the browser.search.showOneOffButtons boolean and toggle that to false, this restores the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
Note that, like always, edit your about:config at your own risk.
In the address bar, type about:preferences#search<enter>
If you miss being able to switch search engines without going crazy with menus, try this out;
Context Search {web link} Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.
