That right-click context menu option will change based on the search engine currently displayed in the Search Bar in the upper right corner of the Firefox window

The following Add-on will allow you to choose from all installed search engines from the right-click context menu

Change the default search engine in the search bar from Wikipedia to Google and that will change the search engine offered with the right click.
