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. -- multisearch add on blocks the functionality of firefox location bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
