by 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 :-)

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.
