[Bug 355112] Re: Ask.com keeps being re-added to Firefox search bar after updates

[Aaron Kelley]

Why is the "Ask.com" search plug-in packaged differently than the
"Ubuntu Package Search" search plug-in?  The "Ubuntu Package Search"
plug-in does not return upon every Firefox update if it is removed.  I
don't know which way is more proper to bundle search plug-ins with
Ubuntu, but it makes sense to choose one way and use it for all of the
extra search plug-ins that are included.

On another note, why is the "Ask.com" plug-in included at all?  Do lots
of people use this?  Maybe there's a good reason for it that I'm
missing.  Seems to me, though, that if a user wants to be able to search
"Ask.com" from the Firefox search bar, they can add it from the long
list of search plug-ins available for Firefox that you can access
through the "Manage search engines" dialog.
