How do I modify the Google search bar in Firefox so it is linked to my AdSense account?

I would like to be able to modify my friends and family's Firefox so that when they search, it credits my AdSense account.

Please include screen captures where applicable.
Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. you go to
C:\Documents and Settings\[yourusername]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[yourprofile]\searchplugins\

2. you edit google.xml

3. you replace the google url with your url

Be careful to put at the end of the url q={searchTerms}

Mac OS:

Each profile is stored on your hard drive in a profile folder. The default location of the Firefox profile is ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/.

* xxxxxxxx represents a random string of 8 characters.

1. Open Finder and go to your home folder. Note: your home folder is usually the name of your Mac user account
2. From your home folder open /Library/, then /Application Support/, then /Firefox/, then /Profiles/.
3. Open your profile folder. By default, it is /xxxxxxxx.default/ where xxxxxxxx represents a random string of 8 characters.

Go to your Adsense Account page & create your search unit for your firefox & implement it

For the search bar:
1) Install the addon Add To Search Bar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682
2) Restart Firefox
3) Go to your AdSense search page
4) right click on the the search box and press Add to Search Bar
5) Choose a name and icon and press okay

To modify the url bar you can easily go to your config page in firefox.
Here are instructions:

1) Do a search on your adsence account
2) Copy the url from the search
(e.g. http://myadsencesearch.com/search?q=Search Term&option=32
All these will be your own values and Search Term will be what you searched for)
3) Modify the url so ?q=Search Term is at the end there is a few rules so follow these guidelines:
a. ? must be after /search
b. if there is no ? before q= then there must be a &
c. ?& does not go together:
If it is after the /search then delete the &
If not delete the ?
So the example above will read:
http://myadsencesearch.com/search?option=32&q=Search Term
4) Remove the Search Term
So it will say now:
http://myadsencesearch.com/search?option=32&q=
5) Visit this page in your address bar: about:config
6) In the filter bar enter: keyword.URL
7) Modify the value of keyword.URL
(Double click or right click and press modify)
8) Paste the url in (http://myadsencesearch.com/search?option=32&q=
9) Press okay and perform a search
