"Firefox could not download the search plugin from amazon"

Hi all,

I'm an English speaker in Germany, and I'm trying to add amazon.de as a search shortcut, using the official steps (right click on address bar, choose 'add Amazon').

However, I'm getting the following error: Firefox could not download the search plugin from: https://d2lo25i6d3q8zm.cloudfront.net/browser-plugins/AmazonSearchSuggestionsOSD.Firefox.xml

I've seen similar calls for help that seem to stretch back years, but alas they appear to have had slightly different symptoms/solutions that don't seem to apply to my situation.

Cheers.

Also, it seems bizarre that Firefox for Android has the option to manually enter any search engine I want through a very Chrome-like process, but we can't do that on desktop?

Hello

Firefox could not download the search plugin. Indeed, I have tested.

You can try Add the Search bar to your Firefox toolbar https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-search-bar-firefox-toolbar Add or remove a search engine in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox

And, you can try Mycroft Project search engine plugins

Take a look at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-change-google-co-uk-to-google-co-in-at-firefox-exe/m-p/92819/highlight/true#M36126 for illustration purposes.
