Nice try seriously! But a bad idea to use CTRL+S. Make it custumizable at least. And its not working very good. Sometimes save dialog pops up or FF Popup-warning shows up. And sometimes it simply works. Not really reliable.
My work around for now: CTRL+C, CTRL+T, CTRL+V, ENTER save that as a "macro" with X-mouse button (works with every mouse!) to my mouse button. That works pretty good. Cheers
ps. feature req for KB shortcut to search for highlighted text is 5y old now. BAD MOZI!

Is Quick Search 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.
Quick Search requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
- High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.
Quick Search may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
