           {Search Mozilla Update for "mac" in themes for Thunderbird.)

DESCRIPTION
    This command gives control over searching Mozilla Update which is the official
    repository for extensions or themes created for Thunderbird or Firefox. You can
    locate a Firefox or Thunderbird extension or theme and also refine the search to
    a category (not supported). While searching various categories, applications and
    types of add-ons is available it's not required. Simply supply a search term
    after the command to run a vague search on Mozilla Update.
     
     I tried to make it as easy as possible to search using these terms without
     requiring special knowledge of the form values used on Mozilla Update's
     search form.
     
     Types: There are two types which can be used (extension and theme) and they
     are passed to the form as one uppercase value equal to the first letter of
     the type. In MozUp you can type the first character for type or the entire
     name, in any case it will be converted to one upper-case character for the
     form. To search within all types omit the type parameter, by default all
     types will be returned by Mozilla Update.
     
     Applications: There are three applications which can be used (Firefox,
     Thunderbird, and Mozilla) and they are passed to the form as the whole app
     name in lower-case. In MozUp you must type in the whole application name,
     but regardless of case it will be converted to lower-case for the form.
     Like type, to search within all of the applications, omit the parameter.
     
     Categories: You're on your own here for the time being, unfortunately
     Mozilla Update's form uses a numerical index for categories. If you're up
     to checking out the list and memorizing the numbers more power to you. I
     figured I would leave the option here just in case something comes along to
     solve this problem, that is assuming people want to filter their searches
     using categories...

NOTES
     I tried using the mu command but had no luck, it seems to me that it links
     to an old form no longer in use (or which has changed names). I decided
     that rather than just fixing and sort of duplicating mu to add these
     parameters, I hope they are useful and functional. Please be sure to
     contact me with any suggestions or bugs which you may find.
