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.

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
