Title:
Unnecessary patch to cleanup old distributions
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When we raised bug #1885006 we stated that the `cleanup-old-
distribution-search-engines.patch` is no longer necessary, as this has
been fixed in other ways, namely:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623597
Unfortunately this was not addressed by #1885006.
The patch is no longer necessary - since that bug landed in 76 we have
been correctly marking distribution engines as app provided, and
distribution engines previously not marked as app provided will have
been corrected.
If you feel it is still necessary, please explain why. If there are
still bugs existing in relation to it, please let us know so we can
fix the search service properly.
