Title: Ubuntu Firefox launch page has non-SSL Google search bar Status in Ubuntu Start Page: New Bug description: Google searches can be performed via either http://google.com or https://google.com. Using the latter will cause the search terms to be encrypted in transit, which is the right thing for nearly all users, to prevent ISPs and other parties between the user and Google from seeing what they're searching for. The default launch page I get when I start up Firefox in Ubuntu Precise has a Google search bar, which uses the non-secure URL for the search. If I use the search bar at the top of the browser it does search via SSL, which is good. The launch page should be changed to use Google via HTTPS as well.
