Google back as default search for firefox in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Yesterday Rick Spencer from Canonical announced in a developer mailing List that  Google search will be the default search for firefox in the next final release of ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx .

Note that Some months ago canonical  changed the default search provider from Google to yahoo ,

Here it is the message of Rick :

Each release we determine the best default web browser and the best
default search engine for Ubuntu. When choosing the best default search
provider, we consider factors such as user experience, user preferences,
and costs and benefits for Ubuntu and the browsers and other projects
that make up Ubuntu. Up until Ubuntu 9.10 these defaults have always
been Firefox and Google. Earlier in the 10.04 cycle I announced that we
would be changing the default search provider to Yahoo!, and we
implemented that change for several milestones.

It was not our intention to “flap” between providers, but the underlying
circumstances can change unpredictably. In this case, choosing Google
will be familiar to everybody upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and the
change will only be visible to those who have been part of the
development cycle for 10.04.

Cheers, Rick
