What happened to the 'arrow' in the corner of highlighted text on a web page that allowed you to instantly search google etc without having to copy & paste - in FFv4 ?

That isn't a default feature in Firefox, it was added by an extension. Do you have the Google Toolbar extension installed? Is it enabled?

Ah right - many thanks ...

Cant see the Google toolbar extension anywhere on FFv4

Cant see it on the 'extensions page either ?

Do you have a link for it at all.

Thanks

You can still do a search of the selected text via the right-click context menu.
