Title:
Search plugins need to be updated for browser.search.modernConfig=true
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In firefox 78.0, the browser.search.modernConfig setting defaults to
true, and as a result the custom definitions installed in
/usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/ by langpacks are
not loaded.
The upstream meta-bug that tracks this new modern search engine
configuration is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1542235.
The setting can be reverted back to false for the 78.0 builds, but
eventually the setting will go away
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619926), so the custom
definitions need to be updated.
Relevant upstream documentation: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
central/file/tip/toolkit/components/search/docs/SearchEngineConfiguration.rst
