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.
