Hello,

We are creating a new search engine that provides data from a number of search engines and retail outlets all in once space. We would like to have our search engine added to the list available to users so they may select it as their default.

Can you please tell me what the process is for inclusion and who I can contact.

Kind regards,

Alan

hi, this likely isn't going to happen - firefox will only include search engines that are established in a marketplace. what you could do is placing a button on your site that allows firefox users to add you as a search provider... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox
