It seems to be the upstream default. Perhaps you could file a bug and
politely ask the maintainer to consider changing it. I would think at
least in stable releases it should be off.

Well, 'default' is not too clear cut these days... but if you mean the
browser shipped by the workstation edition, the workstation working
group would be the ones to talk to. For each of the spins, their groups
(xfce, kde, etc).

I agree this latest thing was handled poorly, but personally I think
firefox is still the best choice.
