Hi ! First sorry for my poor english I experience the same trouble this morning on a windows PC. It was during a Themes update and it appears that some of them update the search box information during the update. For me it was Aero Fox Silver theme update (I don't use it) . When you go on the web site's theme : http://www.virtusdesigns.net/ you find that all the themes from this site update your search box and add and place ask.com search service as default one.
Maybe your theme is one of them ? Anyway for me all this theme will be uninstall from my PC. -- Ask.com keeps being re-added to Firefox search bar after updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
