Lucky enough, does Firefox knows about it?

@grok2, thanks for the info!

@wap tek, thanks for the tip!!

@Curmu Diigeonnen, NextWeb is not InfoWeb and has nothing to do with this post. :-/

Comment on Creating a bing search firefox addon by Allen West

I just pulled this page up on a google search. I’m trying to find the equivalent location to drop this XML snippet in a Linux install of Firefox, and having no luck. This post is old enough that it may simply be out of date, or there may be some other plugin that I need to have installed first that isn’t made explicit in the post. The “Creating OpenSearch plugins” documentation at developer.mozilla.org is about as clear as custard. Am I wasting my time, here?

I think it’s in an add-in (extension whatever,) perhaps a low-version or social networking or video download one. Sorry I don’t know which yet, or the trivial way of filtering the .firefox/extensions directory for the culprit!

Test by loading Chrome and seeing if things improve, then go back and disable unused and/or unproven plugins, restart, and…seek joy.

I am getting a pumpertruck of that unwanted nextweb, and I didn’t even feed my fingers a po’ boy sammich; to wit, in Fedora 15 beta and Firefox 4, it’s happening all over the place, including sidebar results nobody ordered, and I’m saying it’s an add-on. This gray-background web ‘search’ squatter really frosts my donut. Maybe it’s search sidebar or something version .2…

Get blocksite addon for firefox and enter “http://www.iwsearch.net*”. Working great for me to block this idiotic site.
