User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build ID: 20151215164008 Steps to reproduce: * Click on the drop-down menu for the search bar, to select an alternative search engine. Actual results: * See icons for the various search engines. Expected results: * See text labels for the search engines. Without text labels, it's impossible to differentiate many search engines (see attached screenshot). Previously, in FF 42.0, I could go to about:config and set browser.search.showOneOffButtons to false. However, this no longer works. Arch Linux FF 43.0

Hm, maybe I phrased it wrong. Ideally, I'm looking for the behaviour from previous versions of Firefox, with a list of text items, one engine per line. At the moment (and I think what the proposed duplicate refers to), I can see a text label, but only if I hover over the icon. This is quite tedious. Hence, if I understand the linked bug correctly, I don't think this is duplicate. (Removed dupe tag for now.)

Bug 1103315 is what handled the “multiple engines with identical icons” scenario. I maintain this is a duplicate of that, same as bug 1106333 and bug 1147333. If you feel very strongly otherwise, then at best this will be marked Wontfix; there's no room to fit labels in the current search UI, so that's not going to happen.

The previous search UI fit the labels in fine, so I thought that a version similar to this would have worked. I'm not familiar enough with the (previous and current) icon-only view, but presumably you are saying that it has changed substantially that a reversion to the previous text-version is not workable. Could this not even be an optional setting?

(In reply to Sparhawk from comment #4) > Could this not even be an optional setting? No: bug 1119250. You can get the old UI back with an add-on like Classic Theme Restorer. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
Thank you for the information and links.
