The search resulted in 2 plugins. The one by Jorge Silva was marked with 'check' icon, however. I added this plugin.

This also works with the FastDial plugin for Firefox

Guess i didn't, thx. But now it says i need a browser that supports opensearch (yes, im using firefox). Suggestions?

[Operon]

Firefox supports opensearch. Try installing the latest version.

[abun1991]

I tried, and it says there was a problem connecting to mozilla.org. If it helps, i am doing this at the high school i go to.

[Operon]

I don't think I can help you with that. Sorry!
