Allow selection of another search plugin as you do currently, but reset it to google when you change the window/tab. In the default install, make Google this default search plugin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Rationale --------- Generally, I do all my searching on google. Occassionally, however, I want to search on, say the PHP or mySQL documentation. So I select PHP in the search-plugin dropdown, and search for my The next time I use Firefox, however, it's still got PHP selected, and my next search will accidentally be on the PHP documentation instead of on google. It's never a huge problem, rather, it's a small problem that happens time and time again. It would be a lot more usable if it switched back to google after I closed the window/tab.
This is an interesting idea. Setting status to New for now.
