Comment 21 for bug 305905

I also think this is a valid bug and should not be closed. While I understand that Canonical generates revenue through the use of the home page, and that is a reason for using it, that needs to be weighed up against the problems that the use of the page causes and the other possible options.

To start with, I think it should be explained whether Google have been asked to implement a fix for this problem, and what their response has been. As Vincenzo has said, the customised Firefox Google homepage does not suffer from this bug. It could also be explained whether there are substantial differences in revenue between using a custom search page, and a regular search page, and why. Presumably either provides an opportunity for a financial arrangement with Google.
