From the Live Search team blog post entitled Live Search autosuggestions come to Firefox we learn

We're happy to report that we've officially integrated Live Search into Firefox by popular demand.
...
The Live Search add-on for Firefox is available to install at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10434. It's based on the Open Search standard and uses the JSON interface supported by Firefox to retrieve autosuggestions.

I'm glad to see this finally get out there since I was one of the popular demanders at work. If you're a Firefox user who's also a fan of Live Search then this is a must have extension. It's definitely improved my browsing experience when I've had to use Firefox.

By the way, it's an interesting insight into the different user bases to compare the suggested searches from Google with those from Live Search for a particular phrase.
