Using Google as the default search provider in Firefox gives Google no more "personal info" than if you did the search by visiting google.com.

I should add:

Using Google as the default search provider in Firefox gives Google no more "personal info" than if you did the search by visiting google.com *in any other browser*.

These claims that Mozilla configures Firefox to ship masses of personal information to Google are, as far as I can tell, false.
