Save the "wso.jpg" file in the same "searchplugins" folder. That's it. Restart firefox. Now, when you click on the icon or little triangle next to your Firefox search box, the drop-down menu should show "WSO Facebook" as one of the search engines you can use. If you're off-campus, you'll be prompted to log in first, but it will still work.
==WSO Bookmarks==
The [http://scuttle.org/wiki/doku.php?id=firefox_extension Scuttle extension] adds pretty buttons to your browser to make it easy to see all of your bookmarks on WSO, and to bookmark the page you're currently looking at.
===Configuring===
After you download and install the extension according to the instructions on the above link, you need to put the toolbar buttons on your browser.
* Right-click (or control-click) on the navigation bar (which holds icons "back","forward"), and select "Customize...".
* Drag the two Scuttle icons out to the navigation bar. They look like these:
[[Image:Scuttle icons.jpg]]
* Select "Tools" from the top menu. Click on "Extensions". In the Extensions window, Click on Scuttle and then click "preferences". Change the URL to
http://wso.williams.edu/bookmarks
Now every time you want to share a page you are currently browsing, you can click on "Scuttle This Page" to put it on WSO bookmarks.
("Scuttle" is the name of the software that powers WSO Bookmarks. You can read more about [http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/ Scuttle at SourceForge].)
