Mahalo Firefox integration broken
Hey Mahalo, your Firefox integrated search is broken. Look at the images…Add Mahalo to Firefox integrated search & The Firefox error message
The error message is a bit misleading, because you can manually download the file opensearch_desc.xml.
The fact that the file is present suggests:
- The Mahalo open search file is incorrect;
- Firefox has a poor error message for when an OpenSearch file is incorrect. Instead of saying that the file is incorrect, it says that it is unable to download it.
Thought you’d want to know.

Thanks for the feedback. This error occasionally occurs when Firefox caches an out of date version of the Mahalo Search plugin. Unfortunately, we can’t control the error message
To fix this error, add the Mahalo Search bar from a different page on Mahalo, ideally a page that you haven’t viewed before. You can add the Mahalo search bar from any Mahalo page.
I added info about this fix to our page about how to add Mahalo to your search bar: http://mahalo.com/How_To_Add_Mahalo_To_Your_Search_Bar
Mahalo!
