Firefox Search Bangs

This adds support to Firefox for DuckDuckGo-style search bangs for Google.com, Bing, Ecosia, Baidu, and Yandex. Other similar extensions don't match the exact behavior of DuckDuckGo, which is why I wrote this.

Examples:

• !tw Elon Musk ⮕ Search Twitter for "Elon Musk"
• New York!gm ⮕ Search Google Maps for "New York"
• !a Harry Potter ⮕ Search Amazon for "Harry Potter"
• !w ⮕ Go to the Wikipedia homepage
• !ddg news ⮕ Search DuckDuckGo for "news"

Any behavioral differences from the way DuckDuckGo works are considered bugs.

Note that the first time you install the extension, the bang definitions file is downloaded from DuckDuckGo and cached. If you'd like to redownload it, clear the extensions storage (or just reinstall the extension).
