This is very easy. In firefox, go to http://www.etools.ch/searchHelp.do?r#search-plugins and open the page. You will see down the page, a list of Search Plugins. To add the search engine to firefox, just click on Plugin for Metasearch . Confirm that you want to add the search engine to your browser. After that, you can select it from the search engine list. To manage the list, click on the down arrow right next to the icon in the search engine bar.

Hope this helped.
