[R] R-2.1.0 search engine works with mozilla browser but not firefox

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It works with Firefox 1.0.3 for me on Fedora Core 3.

Please consult the appropriate manual as linked from the search page: this 
is a configuration issue local to you.  One irritating part of FC3's 
updates is that they do not (at least for me) copy the plugins across, so 
I had manually to fix up my Firefox 1.0.3 update yesterday.  Sounds like 
your plugin is not set up correctly.
