mozbrowseropensearch

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The mozbrowseropensearch event is fired when a link to a search engine is found — i.e. when an instance of <link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"> is encountered.
