When I select text in firefox, an icon appears. When I click the icon it use to return search results. It has not worked for a while now and I cant find any settings for it or if its an add-in (dont remember installing search addin I have always uses the defaults)

Can you help me identify what it is, because all searches for resolution dont mention the context icon search. I would like to repair it so it provides the search again, or remove it because it is currently useless.

Hi solved where the icon comes from (Bing desktop). I use the app for wall papers.

I turned off the inline search and there is no more search icon when I select text.

Hi, please provide more detail as to what it looked like how you got it to appear and what you did to select text and where selected. More info please.

Did it look like the circled area in the picture in this question ? ? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1201887

I thought it was part of windows, but it doesn't appear in edge.

I have tried googling for it, but noting appears.
