Alexander:

You stated that Multisearch is "something that is just used during
alpha3-4 cycle to understand better how our users (would) use the
various search places." Can I get a clear explanation of what
Multisearch actually does? This statement makes it sound as if you are
attempting to track our search results, and in that case, without an
opt-in, this sounds like an invasion of privacy. However, that statement
was vague enough that I don't want to accuse you of anything, because I
could be far off the mark in this interpretation.

Also, in the future, before rolling out a modification to users' web
browsers meant to collect experimental data, please consider at least
some explanation of what is going on first. There would be considerably
less vitriol if someone had notified the users that Multisearch was
meant to be temporary and was not meant to reflect the final state of
any modification to Firefox that Ubuntu may use. If you had even made
the extension voluntary and asked for help among alpha testers, I'd
think you would have had plenty of testers lined up for something that
requires so little user effort.
