I found a solution on the webpage I provided, you must:
If you want to remove it, edit the file:
/usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/*language-here*
Edit all the languages just to be sure.
Read more info on the webpage.
If your web search engine update, you must do it again probably.
The question is, why are they doing this? GNU Is free (as in freedom, for a reason), and I'm using Linux Lite, not Ubuntu... So if someone should get money from this, it's Linux Lite developers.
We don't owe Canonical money, it should be OFF by default, not ON (like their Amazon searches). It shouldn't be there in a first place.
As you found out, uninstalling the ubufox package won't help.
The web search engine is modified. It says it collects anonymous info too.
The guy in the forum said, it is happening on Mac / OSX too... Why should Canonical get money from OSX users? o.O
