Firefox Search Tool for Google

Lost your Firefox Search Tool (aka "search plugin") for Google? I did. Here's how to get it back without reinstalling firefox.

Right click this Firefox Google Search Tool link, select "Save Link As..." and save it in the "searchplugins" subdirectory of your profile folder. You may need to right-click in the "save as" dialog and tick the "show hidden files" checkbox. Restart firefox and you'll have your google search plugin back.
