If one changes the search engine in the search toolbar, Firefox remembers this until it is changed back.
One might want the option to have it reset to a default search engine whenever one restarts Firefox.
This way, when one changes the search engine to something specific (dictionary or IMDB), it is changed back to the default (e.g. Google).
This should be an option, as understandably, some would like it to rememebr the last search engine selected.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change search engine to something specific like Dictionary search
2. Exit Firefox
3. Restart Firefox
4. Changed search engine is still selected
5. Forget that it's changed, and type in a search term and get results
that one doesn't want

Sound more or less like a duplication of bug 356332, esp. given that the reporter is concerned about Dictionary search engines.

We no longer have the concept of engine switching via the search bar.
