    What is Context Search?

    Context Search is a Firefox extension that expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose a specific search engine every time.

    Search engines can be added or reordered in Firefox's Search Toolbar ("Manage Search Engines").

    Once the search engine menu is visible:
    - Left click to search in a new background tab.
    - Middle click to search in a new tab and switch to that tab immediately.
    - Ctrl+click to search in a new tab and switch to that tab immediately.

    If you have Firefox set to switch to new tabs immediately, the above key combinations will have the inverse effect.

    Shift + click opens search results in a new window.

    Hidden Preferences
    - extensions.contextsearch.separatorItems: A comma-separated list of search engines. A menu separator will be added before each.
    - extensions.contextsearch.quoteStringsWithSpaces: Automatically surround search strings that contain spaces with quotes).

    The extension is currently not working on Firefox 57. It still works on XUL-based Firefox forks like Waterfox and Pale Moon
