I've been using Firefox a long time, but I'm not sure what the "search bar"
is?
OTOH, I've never had much luck installing extensions from a normal
user. If I'm going to install extensions, I startx as root, then do my
extension work, then log out. Any other way, file permissions get in
the way.
Installing regular extensions should work fine as a user (does for me)
since they're stored in users' home directories; search plugins in
particular sadly won't work off the shelf, so to speak, since only root
has access to /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins, which must be
modified. Personally, I just change the permissions of the directory so
I can install search plugins as a user; alternatively, you could fire up
Firefox as root (no need to startx as root!).
