There are a couple of advanced actions that users should be able to perform from a one-click button. We can expose them in a right click menu. Than menu should initially include the following two items: - Search in a new tab - Set %enginname as default search engine
Flags: qe-verify+
Flags: firefox-backlog+
Hardware: x86 → All
Possibly with the Engine name as header of the context menu as well.
+1 right-click menu + "Set as default search engine" would allow to select a new default search engine in 3 clicks (instead of 5 with new search bar and 2 with former search). Also it would be better to display the search engines when the magnifying glass is clicked, even when nothing has been typed; instead of only have the "Change Search Settings" menu in that case.

Attached patch Initial patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch adds a context menu for the one off buttons. Some notes: - There's a weird issue where if you open a context menu, and then click a one off button to search (even if you didn't click any of the menu items), the suggestions popup doesn't get closed. I worked around this by adding a manual hidePopup() which doesn't seem to change any existing behavior - but if there's a better fix that'd be great. Please see the comment in the code. - This does not (yet) add a context menu to the suggestions list to allow opening them in a new tab. - I wonder if there's a better alternative to checking the target of all the popup* events (since context menus also trigger these events). - The l10n is basic at the moment and doesn't include the engine name in the label or anything.

Just wondering if this matches what you had in mind. Note that I haven't yet included a provision to add the engine name to the set-default label. I'll do that for the next patch, though I'm wondering if it'll make the label a little too long.

Also, I haven't updated the code that records the one-off search in a new tab from the context menu in telemetry. I'd like to confirm what the type should be first. Do we need a new one (or does one exist already) for context menu searches?

Move the hidePopup() call above the handleSearchCommand() call (forgot to qref :( )

Flo can weigh in too, but I would think that we would want to be able to distinguish these new searches from others. Looks like that would require a new `source`. oneoff-contextmenu?

Attached patch Patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Addressed feedback comments and added a new "oneoff-context" search source.

This did not work. The autocomplete binding doesn't behave well with popups (including context menus). I had trouble with this on bug 1113747 too. My new solution is to stopPropagation() of popup events on the menupopup.

Checked the contextual menu for one-click search engines using Developer Edition 43.0a2 2015-09-23 under Win 7 64-bit, Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit and found some possible issues. Can someone please review them and let me know if they worth filling? 1. Right click on a one-click search engine and without selecting anything, right click on another engine: Win: The search panel is closed while the contextual menu remains visible Ubuntu: The contextual menu for the first selected engine is closed Mac: The contextual menu for the second search engine opens (This is, I believe, the correct behavior) 2. Minimize the browser while the search engine contextual menu is opened: Win: The contextual menu is closed first. The minimize icon needs to be selected twice in order to minimize the browser. Ubuntu: The contextual menu is closed first, selecting minimize twice closes the Search panel. Mac: The browser is minimized 3. All platforms: Due to bug 1204241, a search engine can be set as default using keyboard shortcuts and still appear in one-click list so one can also use the contextual menu to do that

(In reply to Petruta Rasa [QA] [:petruta] from comment #21) > 1. Right click on a one-click search engine and without selecting anything, right click on another engine Oh wow, it's already mentioned (I only checked blocking bugs in the header before reporting). However, I think you can try another steps on Ubuntu (I described them in bug 1171394): > Before right-clicking another engine: move mouse over one of non-disabled menuitems, > press left mouse button, then move mouse away from the menu. Then right-click another engine. I believe that you'll get Win behavior as a result: "only second context menu is visible". All connected bugs have 1 thing in common (at least on Win): 'mousedown' event is being canceled. BTW in bug 1205619 Neil Deakin seem to already found the root of the problem.
