-----------------------------+----------------------
 In the latest release of Firefox (28.0) users are pushed Google and other
 products straight from their desktops. It's not that these commercial
 products are available for install but rather if the user uses search in
 Firefox, they get redirected to google.com page. This makes it appear that
 Fedora is encouraging the use of these non-FOSS commercial products along
 side the FOSS software we currently package and maintain in our
 repositories.
