Ive already tryed putting the gif into the searchplugins folder and still it shows the default icon when it should be 
[help] Changing Google Search Icon
What you must do is: go into the searchplugins folder, and back up all your other search ions. then, copy the looking glass icon and rename it with the same name as the old search icon.
What searchplugins folder are you using? Don't use your user profile folder, use Firefox's Installation folder to find Google Search plugin, should be inside there by default.
If not.. put google.gif or google.png inside where google.src is located. (might be inside your profile folder, might be inside your firefox installation folder).
Both the image and the src should have the same name
Thanks deelo, it was in the wrong searchplugins folder works like a charm now.
Sure thing m8! ![]()
