User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150807085045

Steps to reproduce:

Changed default search engine to IXQuick, a plugin which uses method="POST" and executed a search from the Windows 10 task bar search box (repeated test with Startpage.com plugin).


Actual results:

Firefox sent a GET request without parameters, and the site redirected to its home page instead of showing the expected results.


Expected results:

Firefox should have sent a POST request with query parameters as specified in the plugin.
