<a href="http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04/">Here</a> is the new default home page/search engine. (change the 10.04 to 9.10 for the current one)

I can't blame the owners though 'cos you have to pretty vigilant as so many of the software companies are sneaking them in - Java and CCleaner being just 2 that spring to mind.
As for the Yahoo deal, not bothered really - just takes seconds to change it back and Google probably has too much dominance anyway.

Actually I quite like that.
It's like the original Google page before they put loads of little icons and other rubbish everywhere.
If the search is as good as Google, then it's bye bye Google (except for language translations etc).

Quote from: Hairy The search box is standard FF, Ubuntu has no control over it, they could replace the default but you could just change it back. As I said the only change is the default home page which goes via ubuntu.com rather than straight to the search engine. (NB I don't use Ubuntu on anything now but that was the default in previous versions)
Ubuntu supplies its own build of FF, so they are quite capable of giving it a different default search engine.
