A while back I wanted more menu options with Firefox so I made an extension [1]. Basically when you highlight a word or a sentence on a page a menu popups up with some options like to copy, search, or lookup on Google maps. Or whatever option you want. I use it often and find it useful.

Huh, beside Google Maps, that's what the default context menu does in Firefox?

Yeah the Google Maps was my primary goal. But I was also thinking a person can add other options. For example different search engines. Or maybe your favorite AI agent search.

I see, I've also wondered why Firefox doesn't allow configuration of search providers in the context menu or allows multiple one.

Thank you! Your extension is really helpful.
