I’ve never used the search box in Firefox. I always wanted to have more control over the way it functions. Finally, there’s a plugin that makes this possible. It’s called SearchLoad Options.
My biggest beef with the search bar is not being able to clear my last search. Why is Firefox designed to leave the last search in the box? If you’ve searched for it, why would you want to search for the same thing again? With SearchLoad Options, you have the ability to clear your search term immediately, or after however many seconds you want.
My second issue is that the search is done it the current active tab. I know that this can be changed in about:config, but this addon makes it much more convenient. You can set it so that it opens a new tab with your search results in it.
There are a few more options, but these are the two things that make this a must have addon for me.
