Not sure, but it's really not a nice thing for software to do.

This is a particular case because Firefox is our default browser on almost 
all our spins (only the KDE spin defaults to Konqueror+KWebKitPart). Given 
that, IMHO, it is completely unacceptable for Firefox to show ads (that 
aren't part of the websites the user asked to visit, obviously).

Our default-installed software definitely shouldn't be carrying ads. The 
other stuff, I'd prefer if it didn't either.
