Live Search Firefox Add-On with Search Suggestions

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.

I would love to hear your take on this. I saw CNN covering it, which I thought was a little absurd. Still, I wonder which segments you think Live search serves better than the other two (Yahoo and Google).

Doesn't using Firefox improve your browsing experience... honestly, you're not using IE, are you?

Where you in Dallas, TX this w/end? Saw someone that looks just like you at an event in Lewisville.
