Why not just use the search bar?

I find it so good, especially with the amount of search engines I have to use on a regular basis.

I am not sure how much better Google can make FireFox. Well, what an extension can't do anyways.

In the same way that using the google search engine reports your search to Google. You have an option when you install the google tolbar into IE to turn off other features.

They can give it what Mozilla cannot - a mass market consumer brand. Instant recognition, leading to millions of downloads.

The Firefox search box is integrated into the browser.. it's not a third-party add-in like IE based ones.

And if you don't like Goooooogle, or want it to search on .co.uk rather than the .com default, you can choose from oodles of extensions that will allow you to send your search queries just about anywhere you like. How refreshingly versatile. :)
