Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a pleasant day.

Anyway, I recently switched to using DuckDuckGo HTML as my default search engine, which has been great so far. The only thing is I have this habit of using the right-click menu in Windows to highlight and search for terms – example.

The problem is, DuckDuckGo HTML is not able to be accessed this way, so it just returns a blank screen that says “forbidden.”

Now, this is really no big deal. I can adjust my habit, and I already have Firefox set up so that it always displays the unique search field in addition to the address bar, so it’s really easy to search for things, even if I want to search a URL or something like that.

I’m just curious if there is some way to remove the right-click search option altogether? This would be ideal since I keep accidentally trying to use it, due to force of habit. Would this be something I can disable in about:config?

    Oh thanks! I’m afk now, but once I’m home again I’ll try your fix!

    Edit: No dice. It will open DDGHTML in another tab, but it fails to actually search for keywords
