How to search engine choices do not apply to the navigation bar

To reproduce:
-set google as default search engine
-Select an item in the search panel (not google)
-Type a query in the navigation bar (only text)
-press on enter
Early in this case google search was conducted
Now you can search via the search engine selected in the search panel.

Is it possible to change this behavior, as it was?

It is an intentional change in Firefox 23 and upward. It also applies to the search box on: home.

You can use the keyword search to get back to the old behavior. It is available here:

See also this issue of support for general information on the change of function:

I hope this helps.
