I would like to highlight a word or phrase on a website while in Firefox and press a shortcut key to do a web search on this term without retyping the whole word or phrase into the search box. Can this be done?

If you select a word or phrase, then right-click you should get the option to search for that word or phrase. It will use the search engine that is currently selected in the search bar.
