Extensions.getAddons.search.browseURL

Background

Firefox 3’s Add-ons dialog integrates with addons.mozilla.org to allow users to search and install extensions and themes. The functionality is available in the “Get Add-ons” pane. This preference determines the URL for the “See all results” link that appears when the user performs a search.

Possible values and their effects

The URL to visit when clicking the “See all results” link under search results in the “Get Add-ons” pane of the Add-ons dialog. Default value is https://%LOCALE%.add-ons.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/%APP%/search?q=%TERMS%, where %LOCALE%, %APP%, and %TERMS% are replaced with the value of general.useragent.locale, “firefox”, and the user’s search terms, respectively.
