I'd really like to know who developed this extension and why it was
decided that it was a required part of the firefox-3.0/firefox-3.5
package. As it stands, the sole purpose of this extension seems to be to
direct users to Google's Ubuntu Partner Custom Search for more
impressions.

It can also be perceived that the modification of the
Search/location/whatever bars to direct to a different results page
while still looking like the default Google Search, icon and all, is an
attempt to trick the user into thinking nothing has changed. That would
almost be considered malware in a sense. It subverts the default actions
of the bar.
