Bug#587801: URL bar entries should not be revealed to google by default

[Ian Jackson]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.6-3

I'm using a pretty much vanilla Debian lenny iceweasel.  After
prompting by someone, I typed
   feeble bloop
into the URL bar and hit return.

Firefox sent my putative URL to Google, which did a search.  I got a
Google search page.  This is a privacy violation.

In the default configuration, information should not be sent to places
which the user does not expect.  If the user is typing into the URL
bar, that does not mean to turn it into a Google search just because
the user made a mistake.

It would be fine for this feature to be optional.  I'm complaining
about the default.

Ian.
