The XML file for search plugins should be able to be manually installed by dragging them into the either the Add-ons manager or the Manage Search Engines dialog.  This will be very helpful for programs based on Firefox such as Instantbird that lack any way to install search plugins automatically.

Reproducible: Always
Seems to be a valid request. Marking as confirmed.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

This will work for addons and not currently adding new features for opensearch xml files
