Hello, In Chrome, when I highlight text on a web page, right click & press 'search', I can make it default to Google search. But in Firefox, the same action always defaults to Bing search. I want it to search in Google, not Bing, not finding an option in settings that addresses this. I've got the default search engine set to Google in Firefox settings, but the action of highlighting text, right-clicking & searching that text always defaults to Bing no matter what I do. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

You need to change the Firefox defaults to change search engine.
