Context Search conflict

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

It looks like Organize Search Engine is not fully compatible with Context 
Search.
When both add-ons are installed (this has been tested with Firefox 3.x as well 
as with Firefox 4.0, on Windows XP), Context Search's click behavior becomes 
broken.

Taken from Context Search's "manual": Once the search engine menu is visible:
                                                                            - Left click to search in a new background tab.
                                                                            - Middle click to search in a new tab and switch to that tab immediately. (...)
                                                                    If you have Firefox set to switch to new tabs immediately, the above key combinations will have the inverse effect.

This works fine with Context Search alone, but as soon as Organize Search 
Engine is installed:
    * The middle click does nothing.
    * The left click launches the search correctly, but with the behavior of the middle click (any search appears in a new tab that is switched to immediately).

This is due to ContextSearch having changed its behavior.
OSE's code is based on Context Search 0.4.3. The new Context Search (0.4.6) 
uses a different method to open tabs.
OSE's browserExtCompat.js must be updated to reflect Context Search's new 
contextsearch.js.
