It took me a while to work out how the "links" on Search Plugins page work.
- there are no "instructions" on the Search Plugins page ... "How to install a Plugin"
Any links for downloads I right-click -> New tab ... so that I dont "lose" the original source, if things go pear-shaped before the download actually appears.
- unfortunately my method fails on Search Plugins page
- right-click -> New tab just opens a new instance of the "Search Plugins" page
- the link-pointer does not break between links, so the list appears to be one large link
I would like to suggest a single line at the top of the page ...
Left-Click any plugin (search engine) to install it now, there will be an opportunity to continue or abandon the install
"Search Plugins" ... page, suggestion Topic is solved

The installation MUST happen as a javascript event. As a consequence it can not simply link to the xml file. That is the only way the browser will trigger the installation of a search plugin.
EDIT: As for not knowing what you are clicking on.. An update to the styling has been pushed to enable a color change on hover of each item. With this change it should avoid the need of any sort of message of WHERE to click. As for left-click vs middle-click.. Assuming anyone tries it it would be a mistake that would only happen once.
