= '''Applying the patchPatch''' =
1. Copy and paste the text from the [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Localized_Search_in_Firefox_Search_Box:_Release_v.01[#Patch_File Patch File | patch file]] into a text file and save it in the root mozilla directory of your source tree. I suggest naming the file localsearchpatch_v01.txt.
* '''NOTE:''' This patch requires that you use a DEBUG build of firefox. To see the output messages from the dump() statements in the patch, you have to enable it by setting the preference '''browser.dom.window.dump.enabled''' to '''true'''. You can set this preference in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] or in a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file user.js file]. This preference is not listed in about:config by default, so you may need to create it. Enter <code>about:config</code> in the browser's address bar -> right-click the empty content area -> New -> Boolean.

1. Navigate to a [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Localized_Search_in_Firefox_Search_Box[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box#Web_Site_List Web Site List | web site]] that offers a search engine plugin.
'''Note''' the DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE in the terminal window.
