Project Details
'''Release v.01'''
This release demonstrates my understanding of how some searchbar features currently work in the Firefox browser by outputting . I've uploaded a patch file that outputs a series of dump("DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE: Function Name - What the functioning is doing") statements to the terminal window while running a debug build of Firefox. Specifically, what functions/methods are called and what happens to the searchbar menu when the following events occur:
* The user selects the button to display the search engine list.
* The browser auto-detects a site that has a search plugin available.
* The user selects the button to display the search engine list when a search plugin is available.
* The user selects the option to "Add this search engine".
* The user changes the current search engine by selecting it from the search bar drop-down list (menu).* The user moves the position of a search engine using the Search Engine Manager.* The user removes an auto-detected search engine from the list of "installed" search engines.
