Rashmi, thank you a lot for submitting this bug. I’ve just noticed that Wordpress rudely wrapped my script tags in the paragraphs.

Now problem is solved and plug-ins should be installed with no problem.

A little about how i fixed it, maybe it will help someone. While I failed to suppress or disable script code formatting in the WP options, I found that using external scripts can solve this problem effectively. Wordpress still wraps my scripts in the paragraphs, but now scripts work.

So, instead of writing javascript code directly in the page, it is better to externalize the script to file and refer to it like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://flash-ripper.com/tools/firefox/search/"></script>

Hope this will help someone. However, if i had better solution, I'd be glad, so maybe someone can tell me how to stop auto code formatting in the WP2.1.

Otherwise, I'll be forced to write my own wordpress plug-in for intelligent javascript embedding :)

Rashmi, thank you for reporting it. I not only fixed the bug — I learned new WP trick because of your comments.
More plug-ins to come!

Thanks for the plug-ins — I was meaning to get around to writing my own :) You saved me time and for that I will be forever grateful.

Michael, I suggest you might want to google for “DMOZ firefox search” or like it. Really good results for every Firefox Search Plugin developer.
