It looks lik you have installed Ubiquity.
"Ubiquity is an experimental Firefox extension that gives you a powerful new way to interact with the Web."
"What is Ubiquity?
Ubiquity was a Mozilla Labs experiment that was in development from 2008 to 2009. Its purpose was to explore whether a radically different type of interface to the Web — a task-centric, natural-language-based command line — could help us get common Web tasks done faster.
Development is currently on indefinite hiatus. We will most likely revisit the experiment at some point in the future. In the meantime, the Ubiquity extension for Firefox is still available for download ..."
Yeah it might be, but I removed Firefox a long time ago and was surpised to find that the files above were still in use when I tried to remove them from the trash.
I removed the folder and it has reappeared after reboot. Does anyone have any more info on this?
I was curious myself as you were.
I conclude the ubd process is a OSX system process that stores stuff in that folder.
(could be logically named as ubiquity deamon or so)
the system proces of ubiquity is described here:

hope that gives you some clue 😉

Well it would be highly annoying if that was the case. But if you followed the link in the post above - you know, the one marked correct - you might not be so annoyed.
