Now Firefox enabled this feature (see http://www.mozilla.org/en- US/firefox/14.0.1/releasenotes/ ), but on my system Firefox still uses plain HTTP.
Firefox binary, downloaded from http://www.mozilla.org/en- US/products/download.html?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-US , works as intended, so it's the bug of distribution. Strangely, OMGubuntu ( see http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/firefox-14 -released-with-new-security-features ) published a screen-shot with HTTPS Google search, so it must be working for him. As for me, disabling all add-ons, removing profile and entire ~/.mozilla folder, purging and reinstalling Firefox didn't help. I guess that now the bug should not be on wishlist, but something more important, as upstream implemented the feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978444 Title: HTTPS is not used for Google searches Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: about:home and about:startpage does not use HTTPS which results in the communication being insecure and allows usage tracking and surveillance by a attacker as well as man-in-the-middle attacks.
