Here's exactly what I put in the Location entry for the new bookmark:
http://google.com/search?q=site:jsoftware.com+%s
(I had copied and pasted directly from your original post; I just copied
it directly from the entry in Organize Bookmarks.)
But I think I now understand the difficulty: First one types the keyword
and parameter in the location bar, e.g., "j copula locale" and then one
clicks the bookmark.
What I was doing, by contrast, was to type the keyword and parameter in
the location bar and then just hit Enter. I was assuming that Firefox
would now recognize this as a keyword entry; I did not realize that the
part "%s" in the bookmark refers to the string that one has already
typed in the location bar.
