My previous post is therefore partially incorrect. Since search XMLs are currently NOT being accepted, your only alternative is the Mycroft search engine repository.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:4/cat:all?sort=name" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:4/cat:all?sort=name</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/how-to-create-firefox-addon-for-search#post-5430 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:31:47 +0000 techlee 5430@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>hi sparx,<br /> thanks for the info.<br /> any help i can get on the XPI package from somewhere.<br /> eg, is it possible to see the XPI package of Labnol (if they have made one) </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/how-to-create-firefox-addon-for-search#post-5423 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:33:11 +0000 Sparx 5423@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Submit it to <a href="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">Mycroft</a> - that is *the* repository for all entries for the Firefox search box.</p> <p>If you want to submit extensions/themes to Mozilla Addons, you need to sign up. After you submit your extension / theme (search XMLs not yet supported, you need to create a full XPI package), it will be reviewed and only then will it be approved.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/how-to-create-firefox-addon-for-search#post-5421 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:42:54 +0000 techlee 5421@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>hi sparx,<br /> i remeber the thread and thank u for your help in the same.<br /> however, i think i framed the question wrong this time.<br /> actually i wanted to ask, how do you submit it to the Firefox addons -https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ - so that others can download it from there.. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/how-to-create-firefox-addon-for-search#post-5418 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:56:29 +0000 Sparx 5418@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>@Techlee: asked and answered.
