The google custom search - perhaps it went there by itself?

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

The fact that there is nobody willing to reply (I posted a similar 
message one year ago, so this is certainly not a matter of time) can 
mean only two things:

1) on this list, nobody knows the answer. I think this is likely. Then, 
the custom search should be removed from firefox. Nobody knows why it is 
there.

2) someone knows, but they are ashamed to tell the truth. This is likely 
too. If you just want to adopt a marketing strategy, damnit, just admit 
it. The majority of users including myself will continue to use ubuntu. 
But why silence? This is really worrying.
