Title:
  Firefox should use SSL enabled search bar

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
