How do I make Firefox Google Search text that is not a website when drag and dropped to a new tab or existing one
Exactly what the title says. Firefox did this before updating to 5 if I'm not mistaking. I want Firefox to Google search text when I drag it to the tabs bar (when an arrow pointing in between tabs appears). From there a new tab with the Google search should appear normally.

Title and description may be clear to you it is certainly not clear to me.
If I drag "title and description" which is not a url and try to create a new tab with it nothing will happen. I can drag that text to the the search bar and do a search.
If I grabbed a url which was text not shown as a link I can drag to the location bar, the new tab button, to a tab, between two tabs and that is all legitimate.
I can drag a link" without selecting it in the same manner the location bar, the new tab button, to a tab, between two tabs and that is all legitimate.
I cant see that you have lost what it sounds like you had because I don't think you would have generated a search in that manner. You can certainly drag something like a sentence to the search bar, so even if you were the only one that could do start a search by dragging text you can still drag it to the search bar.
perhaps you were thinking of right-clicking on selected text, then selecting google search from the context menu, which opens in a new tab for me.
