Steps to reproduce:

Visit any webpage, tap the address bar

Actual results:

The keyboard appeared, the full URL was highlighted, but the search engine buttons did not appear

Expected results:

The search engine buttons should have appeared at the top of the keyboard. This would make searching links in Twitter much easier, and the same goes for searching other sites for URLs. The unfortunate workaround involves cutting and then passing the URL in the address bar.

We will track and triage this issue here : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/6582/.

In the meantime I find it very easy to just copy the link by long pressing on the URL, pasting it in the URL bar via long press and searching the URL via the search engine button shortcuts.
