- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12740845, 7 years agoBest context search webextension for Firefox 57! The only one defect is the quick menu with right button... sometime the Firefox menu overlap on quick search. Maybe is better if the button to hold is the left. For all the rest, thank you!
(edit) Sorry for my bad English, but yes, sometime when i hold down the right button i have the Firefox context menu and the addon quick search together. Anyway the problem is solved with addon version 1.0.3 and the new feature, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this little miracle in webextension!Developer response
posted 7 years agoWould you mind editing your post to elaborate a little? Are you seeing both quick menu and context menu on a single hold-right-click?
(edit) Look for the option to use hold-left-click in future releases
(edit) Now a standard feature in 1.0.1+ - Rated 5 out of 5by cook2003, 7 years agoImport files every time 「search.json.mozlz4」
Too trouble
I hope
Just make a right click
with the mouse pointer on top of *the page's* search box
can choose Add to SearchDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoIt is a bit of a hassle to reload the search.json when search engines are added or removed, but the web extensions API doesn't allow for direct access to the search engines. It's a choice between having to reload the file occasionally or maintaining a separate list of search engines specifically for this Add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by mightyglydd, 7 years agoIt lives!
Thanks mate, so far so good, the demise of Ben's extension was driving me bonkers.
5 stars :)Developer response
posted 7 years agoSame. I didn't know how much I relied on Ben's Add-on until FF 57 killed it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mushaf, 7 years agoCool workaround! Can you please add these options - open in background tab and open tab next to current?
Edit: Thanks for adding those features quickly!Developer response
posted 7 years agoSure thing. Check the latest version 0.94b4. Shift+click opens in background, Ctrl+click in adjacent tab. These can be set as the default behavior in Options - Rated 5 out of 5by metaphil, 7 years agoYou, Sir, are a genius!! Thanks for this simple solution!
I was about to start tinkering around with some shell scripts to achieve this, but you thought one step further :-)Developer response
posted 7 years agoHappy to help. I'd been using Ben Basson's Context Search 0.6.4 Add-On forever and was losing my mind when FF 57 came out. This solution is a tad hacky, but it's working so far for the engines I use.
