Does Firefox allow other browsers to add stuff to its menus?
If you install for example Edge or Opera and long press on some text in Firefox you get (in the case of Opera) a "Search privately" instead of Search with Firefox (it has become hidden in the overflow menu).
Is this something Firefox allows or is it Android? To me this is a takeover of another app which Google doesn't allow so I'm guessing it is either an Android built-in feature or in Firefox. Makes me want to instantly uninstall both Firefox and the browser taking over the menu.
Could someone shed some light on this?

Hi
Thank you for using the new Firefox Preview browser.
What you are seeing the new search context menu in Firefox Preview. When you long press on a term that you wish to search with, you will see a menu that presents you with the ability to send that term to another browser to search with or to search in private browsing mode or to even send it to another app.
It is very annoying that the default search is "Search privately" which is actually a link to Opera. Not only is the in-app search not even in the pop-up but in a secondary part of the menu but clicking "Search privately" sends whatever data I have marked to another app without asking first. That is the exact opposite of privacy and before clicking you have no idea it is a link to another app. Poor design!
How do one go about giving an opinion on this? Is there a bugzilla # on it? I have no idea what this would be called and looking though all UI posts in bugzilla is quite a job.
