I am an avid Firefox user (desktop and mobile) and until recently, on the mobile ios browser, I was easily able to change from my default duckduckgo search engine to an alternate if I needed more oomph. This option is now gone. I see other people commenting on this too in the App Store reviews. I really want this back - I don’t want to change from DuckDuckGo but there are a lot of times it’s helpful to use google, and having to copy my search, go to google.com and paste it, is annoying, when I used to have the easy option of clicking in the search bar and then picking google on the bottom toolbar.

Does this help? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contextual-search Context Search by Olivier de Broqueville, Carl Scheller

Search selected text using your preferred search engines. Right-click or Alt-click on selected text to respectively launch the context menu or the icons grid. You can also perform searches using keywords in the url address bar. Requires Firefox 62+.
