The search bar is at the far right on my firefox and has Google emblem
with a space to type the search request. If you click on the logo you get
a drop down list where you can add engines. It works fine in Windows -
but they don't worry about permissions anyway <G>. I can add search
engines as root but not as my user so I think it is a permissions problem.
How to fix it I don't know as I can't see anything wrong with my
permissions. That's been one of the biggest problems with
firefox. For some reason many add-on installs don't work unless you are
root but root can't install it for you.
Thanks.

I have firefox 1.0 installed. When I go to the search bar and tell it to
install other extensions it says it did it succesfully but they never show
up. Any ideas.
I've been using Firefox a long time, but I'm not sure what the "search bar"
is?
OTOH, I've never had much luck installing extensions from a normal
user. If I'm going to install extensions, I startx as root, then do my
extension work, then log out. Any other way, file permissions get in
the way.
