Steps to reproduce:

Selected text in message and attempted to search the Internet using browser.
(right click menu)

Actual results:

Nothing
It worked in the past.

Expected results:

TB should have search for the text on the Internet using the selected browser.
Tried both (most recent) ESR and Release.

Seems to work for me.
Do you get anything of relevance in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) when this happens?

Uncaught ReferenceError: openWebSearch is not defined
oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml:1
messenger.xhtml:1:1

Try Help | Troubleshoot mode. Better there?

Thanks, Magnus, but no. (Forgot about troubleshoot mode.)
Add-ons disabled, default settings used.
Same message.

No idea then. Perhaps the install is somehow broken/incomplete. Consider reinstalling (data will be kept).

I don't know either.
After TS mode, I lost most of my settings and languages.
After reinstalling lost functionality, and getting everything nearly back in order, it works again.
I suppose we'll never know why.
Thanks.

Thanks, ->WFM then
