  • • Your server should serve OpenSearch plugins using the MIME type application/opensearchdescription+xml.
    • Be sure that your Search Plugin XML is well formed. You can check by loading the file directly into Firefox. Ampersands in the template URL need to be escaped with & and tags need to be closed with a trailing slash or matching end tag.
    • The xmlns attribute is important, without it you could get an error message indicating that "Firefox could not download the search plugin from: (URL)".
    • Note that you must include a text/html URL — search plugins including only Atom or RSS URL types (which is valid, but Firefox doesn't support) will also generate the "could not download the search plugin" error.
    • Remotely fetched favicons must not be larger than 10KB
