We can definitely make a rationale for having a bunch of Fedora
resources on the start page, but our rationale for omitting a Google
search box, "it's redundant and promotes a proprietary service", is not
a line of reasoning I would expect Mozilla to accept.  Then again, they
may calculate that they are better off compromising on this issue in
order to keep Fedora using their trademarks.
