How do I chnage the default search engine that is used when I highlight text and then right click?
When browsing, I often see a word/term that I want to do a search on. If I select the text with my mouse and then right click, I get a list of actions that I can perform Copy Select All Search Secure search---
that one uses Yahoo search by default and I want to change that search engine.... It has used both Google and Bing in the past, and I can't determine what causes the changes....
Thanks

The right-click context search is controlled by the currently active search engine in the Search Bar (not the Location Bar). You can change the Search Bar search engine to specify which single search engine to use.
The following Add-on will list all installed search engines and allow you to choose the search engine to use during right-click context search without changing the Search Bar search engine:
