Add custom search engines for any site

This extension provides a couples of ways to easily add custom search engines to Firefox:

• Adds an icon in the search bar to launch a popup for entering information manually
  • Includes a button that attempts to autofill a URL from the page
• Adds a context menu item for opening a popup with an autofilled entry from a text input

Permissions requested on installation:

• Access your data for all websites: In order to be able to automatically grab search URLs from a page, the extension needs to inject a small amount of JavaScript on the tab. In other words, it needs to run a small amount of code on the tab.

Note that this extension needs to export a very small amount of data to be able to let you create custom search engines.
The exported data is as follows:

• The name you've provided for a custom search engine
• The description you've provided for a custom search engine
• The URL of the site you are creating a custom search engine for

This is sent to https://paste.mozilla.org, where it is stored for one hour. See the privacy policy for more information.
