Wow!  Remove canonical from next release of LL.  On LL 2.0, I see t=canonical, on LM 16 XFCE, I do not.  Can someone test for later release of LL?  Search for anything and look at the URL.

Might removing xul in ff do the trick ! I always remove it on all my fresh installs .
What's the name of the package? I'll take a look.
Ok , I ll check it out .
Ok , either xul , or ubufox &/or xul-ext-ubufox .

I guess LL comes with the later if I remember well .
Yep, xul-ext-ubufox it is (LL2.2).
BUT removing it, doesn't obviously help. At least not in my case having used FF with package installed before. Don't know whether it makes a difference to remove the package before launching FF for the first time? Will test and report back...
It s the results I get from DDG research :

Note , no t-canonicals here .
Hm, I've just tested it with a new account and xul-ext-ubufox removed.
I'm still ending up with the "&t=canonical" part. Using the /etc/skel/.mozilla copied to the new account as well as after deleting .mozilla in the new account.
Gee , that sux mate !

Maybe in FF s Preferences ! I have Do Not Track enabled in my FF Prefs , also I have Private Browsing enabled , & cookies off , might help on your side .

Wonder if it has to do with Privacy Settings ( Cookies as an example ) in FF s Preferences .
