In order to get gnome shell search provider registered and active
|
|
you need to install the org.mozilla.firefox.search-provider.ini,
|
|
org.mozilla.firefox.SearchProvider.service and firefox.desktop files system wide.
|
|
|
|
The locations may be distro specific, for instance Fedora and Ubuntu expect
|
|
the files at:
|
|
|
|
/usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/org.mozilla.firefox.search-provider.ini
|
|
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.mozilla.firefox.SearchProvider.service
|
|
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
|
|
|
|
firefox.desktop is a system-wide Firefox launcher. It may come with your
|
|
distribution or you can use this one. Update name of firefox desktop file at org.mozilla.firefox.search-provider.ini
|
|
according your actual file at /usr/share/applications.
|
|
|
|
org.mozilla.firefox.search-provider.ini registers Firefox as a search provider.
|
|
When the file is correctly installed you can see Firefox as a searchable application
|
|
at Settings -> Search at Gnome controll center.
|
|
|
|
org.mozilla.firefox.SearchProvider.service file makes DBus search provider service
|
|
activatable. Without it thw service is broken, see mzbz#1851393.
|
|
|
|
Gnome shell search provider is active only when Firefox is running. When it's active
|
|
you can see it as org.mozilla.firefox.SearchProvider D-Bus service.
