- Rated 5 out of 5by sehip, 4 years agoExcellent add-on. One of the first I install. 5*
One question though: Is there any way to send message to it? The reason I ask is I would like to activate search-engine selection from another add-on called Gesturefy, so not using context menu, but gestures.
Something like: { "action": "offer-engines" }
EDIT: Thanks for reply.
FYI: I have also experienced the update issue. Probably one of the reason for it is that addon did not update with FF80 at all, even though I manually called all addons to update. It works almost fine now on my Kubuntu 20.04, as with those instructions on github, except for favicons. Don't give up :-)Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi Sehip, thanks for your review. I'm not sure how Gesturefy works, but have you tried assigning a right-click (or alt + left click) to a gesture. That should display the context menu where you select the search engine you want to use. - Rated 5 out of 5by Batu, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by max221, 4 years agoThis is without a doubt my favorite extension. There isn't a single day that passes when I don't use it. I'm so saddened to learn that it will no longer be supported and removed. Thank you for all your hard work...

posted 4 years agoHi max, many thanks for your encouraging review. Due to the many emails received asking us not to take the extension down, we changed our minds. Occasionally, careless Firefox updates break our extension as is the case with Firefox 79. We're investigating the issue and hope to come with a fix shortly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16186248, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Maverick, 4 years agoIt is a great plugin but after the new update the settings started to reset. There is a problem in version 3.9.1. Settings are broken when you close Firefox. I installed 3.9.0 again. It works perfectly. I hope this problem will be solved with the new update.

- Rated 5 out of 5by aptharsia, 4 years agoI've been using this add on for years, thank you developers! But adding it recently, my search engines keep resetting when I restart my browser, how do you stop that?

- Rated 5 out of 5by GaryK, 5 years agoHi Olivier. Thanks very much for this extension and your time spent developing it. It replaces a now deprecated extension and is very valuable to me. I am having an issue with 3.72 that others have reported. Namely, when I delete a search engine the list of search engines disappears. A refresh brings it back, but this adds a lot of time to the removal process.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14782563, 5 years agoHi, v. 3.72 is broken in Waterfox win 64. it shows the menu, but it does nothing. I rolled back to 3.69 and it seems to be fine.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ardi21, 5 years agoIt's a very usefull add-on but the last update broke it. The context menu dissapeared from right-click options...
