Add the ESV to Your Search Bar in Firefox 2.0

Here’s how to add the ESV to your list of search providers in the new Firefox 2.0:

  1. Go to http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/. The search bar in the upper right corner will change color slightly.
    The search bar in the upper right corner changes color to indicate that a search provider is available.
  2. Click the button next to the search bar.
    A dropdown menu appears.
  3. Choose “Add ESV Bible” from the dropdown menu.
    This action will add the ESV to your list of search providers.
  4. The ESV now appears in the list of possible search engines. If you ever want to remove it, just choose “Manage Search Engines…” from the same dropdown menu.
    The ESV is now accessible from anywhere on the Internet with just a few clicks.

We previously published a similar how-to for Internet Explorer 7. You can also still use the plugin for Firefox 1.5 (and earlier).

Amazingly, both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 use the same file format (OpenSearch) for their search plugins.

  4. I just did this and it is very sweet. You can go to this site and very easily follow directions to add a direct link to the English Standard Version Bible from your Firefox 2.0 web bar. If you aren’ta Firefox user, read this and see why

  5. The ESV Blog posts on how to Add the ESV to Your Search Bar in Firefox 2.0. This is really easy to do. I’ve found it very helpful to have it right in my toolbar. (To do this in Internet Explorer 7.0, see this post.)
