Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Firefox by default uses a google.com based search engine, and goes to the
firefox.com google search homepage. I feel this is an unnecessary
feature, and is an extention of the complaint the Microsoft's Internet Explorer
defaults to MSN search. Perhaps a seperate package could be created
for the google.com search plugin and listed as a suggested/recommended package.
I realize there is nothing against the Debain policy in supported a
for-profit corporation, but while taking into consideration the revelations at
google-watch.org and other sites I feel this is against the spirit
of Debian in that it favors one for-profit over alternatives, i.e. clusty.com
or yahoo.com. Maybe the default could be scroogle.org, or perhaps
simply have no default searches, and just list a few of them as recommended
packages.
