I am trying to create a hobbit.xml for Firefox 2.0 add-on search engine from 
googl.xml

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\hobbit.xml
SearchPlugin xmlns="http://hobbit.test.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-findhost.sh">
<ShortName>Hobbit</ShortName>
<Description>Hobbit Search</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Image width="16" height="16">data:image/x-icon;base64,
<!--
raw image data snipped.
-->
</Image>
<Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" 
template="http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&client=firefox&qu={searchTerms}"/>
<Url type="text/html" method="GET" 
template="http://hobbit.test.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-findhost.sh">
  <Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/>
  <Param name="ie" value="utf-8"/>
  <Param name="oe" value="utf-8"/>
  <!-- Dynamic parameters -->
  <Param name="rls" 
value="{moz:distributionID}:{moz:locale}:{moz:official}"/>
  <MozParam name="client" condition="defaultEngine" trueValue="firefox-a" 
falseValue="firefox"/>
</Url>
<SearchForm>http://www.google.com/firefox</SearchForm>
</SearchPlugin>

So for no luck yet. Looks like need more research work. FireFox 2.0 use 
different method compare to 1.x series(See R1).

Please follow up this thread if you have one already created.
