I'm so glad I found this extension! As a recent upgrade from Firefox 16 due to finally no longer being able to work with newer web design on sites I frequent, I was horrified by the new behaviour of the search bar. What's the point of even having a search box if just typing your query in the 'awesome bar' forces the same results?

This extension, thankfully, does exactly what it says it will and fixes this problem, providing a decent selection of search engines to choose from as your default in the 'awesome bar.' I haven't encountered any problems with it, myself. Though I also don't have a capability to drag words into a new tab to create a search. I've never done that before, so maybe a totally different extension is stopping it; I don't mind, either way, personally.
