Mozilla Thunderbird extension

by PudgyOne - 4/20/07 2:13 AM

I am looking for an extension that will do the following.


I open an email. I am reading this and want to do a Google search on something in the email. I currently highlight the words, copy and paste them to Google. I am looking for something similar that Mozilla Firefox has. If I am reading a page, I highlight the words, then right click, I have the option to "search Google for"

Is there such an extension?

I use Firefox all the time and have never noticed that before on a right click when highlighting text.

I never cease to find things out in these forums, happy

Good luck with your search.

when you're trying to help mothers. I sometimes highlight it, then google search it for answers.

You have posted to an old thread and normally we retire such discussions before they become spam magnets, but your post and it's link to that Firefox add-on is a very good find.

Thank you.
