# Searx_Plugin_Firefox
xml Searx search plugin Firefox
# Installation instructions
1. Clone or download this repo
2. Press F12 to bring up the developer toobox. Click the menu button in the top right and open settings. Check "Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes" near the bottom right. Close the developer toolbar afterwards.
3. Drag the searx-opensearch-Firefox.xml file from this repo onto the Firefox window. Copy the address in the location bar to the clipboard. You can close the tab now.
4. Click the main "hamburger" menu, then Web Developer, then Browser Console.
5. In the Browser Console window command line box, enter the following, replacing the placeholder text with the address you copied earlier. You'll probably see "undefined" after submitting the text — don't worry about it.
6. Services.search.addEngine("PASTE THE ADDRESS HERE", null, null, false);
7. In your preferences you should now see an entry for searx, and be able to set it as your default.
