My *personal* opinion is that we should disable this kind of feature

On a side note, why not disable also Google as the default searchbox
engine and replace it with a non-profit one?
(I'm not stating my opinion here, just trying to figure which is our
overall attitude against promoted default brands on software we deliver
to users.)
I think the difference is that google search isn't used until you actually
do a search. So you can not use it fairly easily. Connecting to web pages
before you get a chance to disable that feature is a privacy problem unless
those web pages are local copies. I already have a problem with firefox
loading a mozilla page after update. (You can turn this off, but it isn't
well documented.) I also have a problem with doing revocation lookups
to check for revoked certificates by default. And for that matter with
loading the Fedora welcome page when you first run firefox of Fedora
systems.
