[Description:]

When live switching language, the default engine search shortcut - for this example @google - Search with Google doesn't get switched.

[Environment:]

100.0a1 (2022-03-24)

Windows 10

[Preconditions:]

Configs:

intl.multilingual.downloadEnabled: true
intl.multilingual.enabled: true
intl.multilingual.liveReload: true
browser.search.log: true

Tools:

language packs
search-addon if needed, preferably in a separate FX for default engine checks

[Steps:]

1. Install a firefox Firefox locale, en-us for example (autoset region not that relevant).
2. Install zh-CN language pack from the preconditions.
3. Open about:preferences / Language.
4. Switch the language to zh-cn.
5. New tab type @ in the address bar

[Actual Result:]

Search with default engine gets stuck on other localization.

[Expected Result:]

Search with engine list is displayed. (localized in the switched language)

Attachment: Suggest hover should be in cn

Later Edit:

Seems the fail switch also applies to the Address bar suggest - "Search with" label is not switched, but I believe it is the same root cause, hence just adding that case here.

This is caused by the same issue as bug 1761412.
