Android Market Search Plugin for firefox

Hi all,

I was wondering why there is no Firefox search engine for the Android Market so I wrote one myself. After trying to publish it, I might have found out why I couldn’t find one since ‘Plugin Validation’ resulted in the error message

“OpenSearch: Provider is not a valid OpenSearch provider”

Being to tired to figure out the reason, I decided to publish it here, since for me it works perfectly. Just save the xml-file in the according path (as in my case it is ~/.mozilla/firefox/w0k2yqfw.default/searchplugins/).

If you know the solution to the mentioned error, please let me know.
