From the context menu I want to always search using Google dot CA, not dot COM
I have already edited "keyword.URL" in about:config This didn't work for the context menu when you highlight a term to search and use the "Search Google for...
It works for typing the search term directly into the URL address bar, but not the search from the context menu.
Chosen solution
I already had Google selected there. This still uses dot com for the resulting search page that opens, I wanted to have it open with google dot ca.
I just found this add-on from MyCroft Project
Part way down this page, number 5, is Google.ca Search Bar . Click the previous link to add this engine to the list of the FireFox search engines (on the drop down menu) did the trick, so I guess I solved my own problem. See attached menu capture. I hope this helps someone else, as it took me quite a while to find. It wasn't found in any of the standard Add-Ons you can find at the usual Mozilla multiple pages of add-ons

You will need to select Google in your Search bar also

Check and tell if its working.
