Firefox updates don't include anything related to Ask.com searches, Google is Mozilla's preferred search partner. But there are a number of Add-ons for Firefox that attempt to sneak-install Ask.com upon installation or maybe even an update, if the user isn't paying attention to the installation / update dialog box and just clicks OK.
