2024-02-15 jek77 Nice try seriously! But a bad idea to use CTRL+S. Make it custumizable at least. And its not working very good. Sometimes save dialog pops up or FF Popup-warning shows up. And sometimes it simply works. Not really reliable. My work around for now: CTRL+C, CTRL+T, CTRL+V, ENTER save that as a "macro" with X-mouse button (works with every mouse!) to my mouse button. That works pretty good. Cheers ps. feature req for KB shortcut to search for highlighted text is 5y old now. BAD MOZI!
2022-02-04 Firefox user 10216609 As close to what I want as a search feature that I can find. Its fast and does not wander off the page you are reading. Mouse click to close. What I really would like is a quick "Hover Search" like I have seen in older versions of google maps: Highlight - Hover - Popup Search (engine of choice) - Un-hover Popup go bye bye. I often look up Acronyms and new words so a quick definition is all I really need. This extension is almost as good but requires using a dropdown. Hopefully figure out how to "macro'd it to a button on my keyboard. smooth" on my MAC.
