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.
