Version: 38.2.0esr-1~deb8.1 Since upgrading from 31.6.0 the search bar fails to display drop down list of alternative search engines; I have checked searchplugins and they are still there and the search symbol displays a vague down arrow, but does not indicate default engine and does not produce the list of search engines when left clicked. However the normal behaviour in any case is for the default engine to be indicated by its icon with a distinct permanent down arrow to select an alternative. This behaviour is corrected by reverting to 31.6.

src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version 45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye release in August 2021. After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now. Andreas
