[Bug] Issues with active tab after changing search engine

[SamuelSalas]

Describe the bug

After the user select another search engine (Google or Duck duck go) and returning to the Browser view, in some occasions it's required to close the active tabs and open a new one.

Expected behavior

After changing the search engine, all search should be generated to that engine without closing any active tab.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the browser view and search for some value on the url search bar
2. Browser view should navigate to the preselected search engine
3. Tap on the bottom bar settings button
4. Tap on the general section
5. Select the other available search engine
6. Return on the browser view and search for another value on url search bar
