SearchLoad Options Fixes Firefox Search Annoyances

Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Firefox extension SearchLoad Options adds a couple of useful and much-needed tweaks to power up the search bar.

After installation, the new settings panel can be accessed through the new Search Options item on the search menu, with tweaks that include clearing the search box after a certain number of seconds, resetting the search provider to the default, or controlling whether search results are loaded in the current or a new tab. Loading search results in a new tab is nothing new, and can be accomplished through the previously mentioned Tab Mix Plus extension or a built-in tweak, but the options to clear the search box and reset the search provider to default can be quite useful for doing quite one-off searches via another search provider, since you no longer need to reset the search to Google every time. SearchLoad Options is a free download, works anywhere Firefox runs.
