'Web search for' seems to be broken - with a phrase selected on a web page, it
doesn't pick up the selected phrase

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select some text on a web page
2.Bring up the context menu
3.Look for 'Web search for' context menu item

Actual Results:  
Context menu displays 'Web search for " "' Selecting this item runs a search on %20

Run a search on the selected phrase

This bug appeared, but went away once on a restart of Firefox. However it's now
'Every time' even after a reinstall into an empty folder and fresh profile.
