    Is there a way to make the Mac OS X contextual menu "Search in Google" when you right click text in an application (e.g. Mail, iChat) use Firefox? When I click it, it insists on using Safari to google the selected text.

    Thanks

    The clue is in the Services icon for that action. Safari is offering the "search selected text" action to OSX. If you can find a plugin that allows Firefox to do the same you should be able to offer it in a menu.
