Mozilla all of a sudden wants to improve their search bar UI to support one-off searches or one-click searches. They’re rushed to apply a patch to Firefox 34 beta 11 instead of following the regular Nightly >Aurora and Beta > stable pattern.
Use of one-click Searches: With this, you can able to search the query with other search engine immediately without needing to change the default one. To get started, type the query, search suggestions appear, click on one of the search engine below them, search results will appear, done.
