I hope
Just make a right click

can choose Add to SearchDeveloper response
posted 6 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, 6 years agoIt lives!
Thanks mate, so far so good, the demise of Ben's extension was driving me bonkers.
5 stars :)Developer response
posted 6 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, 6 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 6 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, 6 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 6 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.
