Does anyone else get this error when trying to install a search plugin in Firefox 2? Is this a known issue? After the plugin I coded by hand gave me the error, I used http://www.searchplugins.net/generate.aspx to generate the same thing, and it gave me the exact same error.
The actual .xml is 777 with the correct chown. I don't know what the problem could be. I do have Console^2 installed and it's not giving me any JS/XML errors.
Any ideas? Here is the xml.
Firefox could not download the search plugin from

I enabled browser.search.log, but the output isn't too clear on what I've done wrong. Can anyone else hazard a guess/suggestion?

I think your image URL should be a base64 encoded dataURI.
