support mobile browsers #2

My main request is for android firefox, this way there might be no reason to use the official DDG android app and thus improving the mobile browsing experience.

I think this is more of an issue with the browsers themselves - they have to support OpenSearch plugins. Firefox for Android does let you install the widget - I just did it.

BUT, it looks like there's no way to make it the default search engine in FF for Android: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730445

I believe that as soon as they fix that, this will work perfectly.

Thanks for the info nfriedly. I could also manage to install your search engine (proxied version) on Firefox, but unfortunately the suggestions are not working for me :/

PS: I already can set ddg url (not the search engine) as the default engine with the workaround proposed on bugzilla, but as you said as soon as the fix come out it's going to get really cool.
