Adding Google Search to Arctic Fox
The Arctic Fox browser, which I’m using on
an ancient MacBook running OS X 10.7 “Lion,” comes setup to search with DuckDuckGo. Which I probably should really start using. But 2+ decades later, I’m used to Google. Theoretically you can add Google (and a bunch of other search plugins) from within the app, but they’re all dead links to addons.palemoon.org.

So I rolled my own. It’s online at: https://pastebin.com/Xap6Peix
Create that file as (e.g.) google-palemoon.xml in whatever directory your Arctic Fox install stores its search plugins (on mine, it’s: /Applications/ArcticFox.app/Contents/Resources/browser/searchplugins). Restart the browser and select Google from the search field’s drop-down menu.
Hope someone out there finds it useful.
