[Slackbuilds-users] Firefox Search Plugin

[Alex]

For the extra simplicity in management.  It means for example that if an 
improvement is suggested to the XML files you would only need to edit 
one file to implement it, not two, three, four, however many you end up 
with (it can only get more annoying as time goes on).

It doesn't add much complexity, so I don't see why you wouldn't want 
those advantages for maintainance.

Both approaches are trivial, I just see a variable-based one as a more 
easily manageable one.

What actually happens is of course vb's choice.
