Place the context menu item next to the built-in Search item #15

The context menu item added by this extension is at the bottom of the context menu.

I think it would be more natural to have it next to (meaning right below or above) the built-in "Search for..." context menu item.

(That would also match the behaviour of the legacy Context Search and Context Search X extensions.)

The WebExtensions API unfortunately doesn't allow for that level of manipulation. Add-on context menus are placed at the bottom by Firefox design.

If this behavior is changed in the future, I'll consider reopening this issue.

It looks like this Firefox issue is relevant: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325758
