[Solved] Extension to reset search engine after one search?

[Weboh]

I hate Australis, but I think it got one thing right: After selecting a search engine for a single search from the searchbox, it changes back to the default search engine for the next search. I can't tell you how many times I have used Wikipedia or Google Images for one thing and then type something else in the location bar expecting to be taken to Google results but ended up with searching one of those sites and having to reset the search engine and retype the query.

I can't find any current extensions for this, and since this is default behavior in Firefox now, no new ones are likely to be made. Has anyone seen one like this, or would it be easy for someone to make one?

(and yes Moonchild, after seeing your post about removing Google as a default option, I tried Duckduckgo again and it's not too bad. That's my default now. So the extension would preferably have a selectable default).

You can do it in your first post in this thread.

It is interesting that in some places you can check a little box that says "I accept this answer" and
that makes it look like the issue has been solved. But other times I cannot find that box anywhere
and simply have to edit the title of the post with [SOLVED]. Not sure why, perhaps someone else knows.

It is probably limited to the support section of this forum (as well as bug reports and the Tycho section). This is for browser extension discussion, not browser support, so "solutions" aren't really necessary. This is just my guess of course.

You may be right, I did ask Moonchild so I await his response.
