Google search option!

Hiya,
Nothing too serious but I have lost an option in Firefox that I use a lot-'highlight, right click, search 'Google'' option!
It's one of the options I use most.
I updated my add-ons yesterday and since then can't seem to find this option.
My add-ons are:downloadhelper, IEtab, SageToo, Seessionmanager, Evernote, AdBlock+, British English Dictionary, BugmeNot, Download Statudbar, Fast Dial, NoScript, Open IT Online and finally Skype. A lot now that I think of it, a couple are expendable I suppose.
Am not sure which one updated on last update session and google seems to come up with all sorts of results coz I can't give precise definition/keywords.
Any help plz?

It would appear that the 'search xxx for' uses whatever search engine is selected in the search box, if when google disappeared, it was replaced by search wikipedia or some such that would explain it.

Joxer:
I understand what you are saying but the issue is slightly different.
Example: I would browse through XDA Dev and 'highlight+Google search' a term. Tried it now but it wouldn't allow it.
I did the same on Facebook but it allowed me to.
I used to be able to search from most pages. It's rather annoying as I have to do a seperate action everytime I want to search whereas before it would b a lot quicker-and when you search as much as I do then it's really annoying.
