'''Downloading and applying the patch:'''
1. Download the [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Image:Localsearchpatch_v01.txt.zip patch file] to the root mozilla directory of your source tree and unzip the file there. I suggest renaming the file localsearchpatch_v01.txt.
* '''NOTE:''' This patch requires that you use a DEBUG build of firefox. To see the output messages from the dump() statements in the patch, you have to enable it by setting the preference '''browser.dom.window.dump.enabled''' to '''true'''. You can set this preference in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] or in a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file user.js file]. This preference is not listed in about:config by default, so you may need to create it. Enter <code>about:config</code> in the browser's address bar -> right-click the empty content area -> New -> Boolean.* You can view preview the patch here: [[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box: Release v.01]]
2. Apply the patch.
$ ./firefox --ProfileManager --no-remote
</pre>
