1388052 - Support chrome_settings_overrides.search_provider.is_default

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1374312

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, enhancement)

Description

[Markus Hartung]

As follow up to bug 1301315, where the original purpose was to allow extensions to set a new default search provider, but then got rescoped to only adding additional search providers.

Please add support for the chrome_settings_overrides.search_provider.is_default api.

As stated in the referenced ticket, there was no decision whether this will be supported or not, a decision on this would be very helpful to continue planning or at least to know when a decision is going to be made to be able to plan accordingly.
