Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Ubuntu should consider downstream patching Firefox to use an SSL enabled search bar. This would mean changing the standard entries, for which there are SSL alternatives, such as Wikipedia, Amazon, etc.. Right now all default query engines, and likely subsequent browsing prompted through the query's results, are unsafe.
