Features & Capabilities

Context Search Origin lets you search from the context menu by right-clicking selected text, a link, or an image. Choose your preferred search engines and run searches directly from any page (link and image searches require Firefox 60+).

Manage your engines with the native Firefox bookmarks manager. Create a folder named “Searches” and, depending on Firefox version, edit bookmarks to use %s for query substitution and assign keywords, or add engines by right‑clicking a search field and saving them in the folder.

User Reviews

Users praise the add-on's simplicity, reliable right-click search integration, and easy management of search engines (widely used and recommended). The dominant complaint is about icon handling — favicons often disappear or show a generic icon, some engine icons appear intermittently, and the context-menu icon is hard to customize or spot.
Pros
  • Simple and lightweight — many users call it the best/simple solution for context searching
  • Integrates into the right-click/context menu for quick searches
  • Easy to add and manage custom search engines
  • Reliable and used daily by many; preferred over other context-search add-ons
Cons
  • Favicons/icons frequently disappear or get replaced with a generic/black addon icon
  • Icons can be intermittently missing for specific engines (e.g., YouTube, Google Translate)
  • Context-menu icon is bland or hard to distinguish and lacks easy customization

Is Context Search Origin Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Context Search Origin requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Context Search Origin is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
