Looking for a Firefox/IceWeasel extensions that mimics a default Opera function

[RAV TUX]

I'm looking for a Firefox/IceWeasel extension that mimics a default function in Opera....

In Opera I can highlight a text and 'right click'>select to search that text with any search engine I have listed in the Search bar.

In Firefox I can do the same but it defaults to the last search engine used, instead of giving me a choice.

Does anybody know of a Firefox/IceWeasel extension that mimics this default Opera function.

I have found a solution that even works a bit better the Operas default function!

This is actually a very cool extension, it works two ways.

1. mouse over the search engine selector in the search bar and scroll between the search engine needed, no need to click and select.

2. this is the most important feature, highlight your desired text>right click>then scroll through your search engines here and select your desired search engine. No need for a long list of search engines like in Opera.


Very, very awesome extension!

Thanks for the tip mate!Good Welcome, another extension to use in conjunction with this extension is searchOnTab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3904) by Sogame (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/8706)
this extension searchs your selection in a new tab instead of your current tab.
