If SecureCare, et al, didn’t post so much, you would know that I am trying Getting Off Google. In general I am not impressed by other search engines but I am doing my best to keep it up. However, I have decided that Firefox is a toady for Google. In Firefox help is the following:

Firefox allows you to search for words you select within a web page:

1. Select (highlight) any words in a web page.

2. Right-clickPress Ctrl,
click the mouse button, and choose “Search Web for [your selected words]” from the menu.

Firefox opens a new tab and uses your <b>default search engine</b> to search for your selected words.

My default search engine is Live Search from Microsoft. When I follow the instructions above, the search is always executed using Google.

Google is an evil company which doesn’t need any help from Firefox which is most cases is a very excellent browser.
