[Bug 1401103] [NEW] selecting search engine in search bar stopped working

[arkaran]

Public bug reported:

Since the update to Firefox 34 selecting the current search engine in
the search bar no longer works. The dropdown list contains only "Change
Search Settings" and none of the available search engines.
