Was thinking about this basic feature missing from FF (like countless others), so surprised to find exactly what I wanted.

- by bafra-acizade-cig-kofte, a month agoRated 5 out of 5please add three features .
1) add url protocol engine . example:
es:{searchTerms} target:_self . no new tab etc. icon url or local selection.
2) add local app engine .
example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCatalog\WinCatalog.exe /s "{searchTerms}" target:_self . no new tab etc. icon url or local selection.
3)possible icon offline import or offline url file:///D:/Icons/google1.ico etc...
please add features. and your extention more great...

Sincerely.
reply 02: You can already use engines like es:{searchTerms} for searching with the Everything app.

because youtube google etc search engines open in new tab.

posted a month agoHi and thanks for the review! If you have feature suggestions please report them to the GitHub issues page instead of here. :)
1. I think you are looking for the "Discard on open" checkbox that each search engine has in SSS. It avoids creating a new tab. You can already use engines like es:{searchTerms} for searching with the Everything app.
2. You'd have to use "file:///" before the actual path, but file paths won't work anyway because the WebExtensions API will block them as invalid URLs (i.e. "Error: Illegal URL: file:///C:/Applications/Something.exe") even though Firefox recognizes them as correct when writing them in the URL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- by Firefox user 5926074, 2 months agoRated 4 out of 5In the settings of Popup / icons behavior
Right mouse button click ＞ Open in new background
It opens with Open in new tab, right?
why? - by rado84, 2 months agoRated 5 out of 5This turned out to be an extraordinary addon! I love it! I've always wanted to be able to add search engines in a simple way without knowing programming and SSS gives me exactly that! :D I was finally able to add a context menu search for Urban Dictionary. :D :D
Edit: I was wrong. This addon is not just extraordinary, it's EPIC!!! Once you figure out how to add new search engines, you can use it even as a translator. Guess what this address does to the selected text. :D
