YaCy search for Firefox addon (opensearch xml)

Click the link below to make YaCy show up in the custom search engine list on the firefox browser.

javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://blog.go-here.nl/yacy-opensearch.xml');

This is the xml file:

<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"> <ShortName>YaCy</ShortName> <Description>YaCy peer to peer search - localhost</Description> <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding> <Image width="16" height="16">data:image/x-icon,BM6%04%00%00....%FFLLL%FF</Image> <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://localhost:8090/yacysearch.html?query={searchTerms}"/> <SearchForm>http://localhost:8090/yacysearch.html</SearchForm> </SearchPlugin>

Update: Firefox doesn't seem to want to add the open search plugin from the external.AddSearchProvider link so I've tried to add auto discovery. (right click the address bar to find it)
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="YaCy peer to peer search - localhost" href="http://blog.go-here.nl/yacy-opensearch.xml">
