Review summary

Simple Context Search is a lightweight, reliable Firefox add-on that leverages your existing search engines and presents them cleanly in the context menu. It offers strong value by syncing with your Firefox engines (no bloat, no permissions) and letting you hide or show engines by labels. However, it lacks built-in options to customize or add engines, and it doesn’t reflect Firefox’s enabled/disabled state for engines in the UI, making some adjustments require separate tools or manual work.

Pros

Uses existing Firefox search engines and keeps a single list, avoiding duplicates.
Lightweight and straightforward with no permissions or bloat.
Highly configurable visibility of engines via labels to hide or show only selected engines.
Reliable and does exactly what it promises.
Pairs well with the Add Custom Search Engine extension for extra capability.

Cons

No in-app options to customize or add engines; you must rely on Firefox settings.
Disabled Firefox engines still appear in the menu; not synced with your enable/disable state.
Cannot add or manage custom search engines directly within the add-on.
Cannot disable the search engine shortcuts in the context menu, which affects display.

2026-01-19	Fi*****	Used in userChrome.css. You can hide search engines you don't want to display by specifying their labels. #contentAreaContextMenu menu:is([label="Search"], [label="Suche (R)"], [label="検索 (R)"]) menuitem:is([label="Google"], [label="Bing"], [label="DuckDuckGo"], [label="Perplexity"], [label="YouTube"], [label="Wikipedia (en)"]) { display: none !important; } You can also display only search engines specified by labels. #contentAreaContextMenu menu:is([label="Search"], [label="Suche (R)"], [label="検索 (R)"]) menuitem:not([label="Google"], [label="Bing"], [label="DuckDuckGo"]) { display: none !important; } Makes the magnifying glass icon in the context menu white only in dark mode. @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { #contentAreaContextMenu menu:is([label="Search"], [label="Suche (R)"], [label="検索 (R)"]) .menu-icon:not(menuitem .menu-icon) { filter: invert(100%) brightness(200%) !important; } }

2024-10-23	ro*****	Amazing extension! One of my favourites. The only issue is it sees all search engines. I wish there was a way to only see the search engines that are enabled (blue checkmark) under about:preferences#search
