1610846 - If the search service receives an add engine request for a system add-on, then it should ignore the request if it is not in its configuration.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1631898

(Firefox :: Search, task, P3)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

If we receive a request to add an engine then we should ignore that request if all of the following are met:

• The engine is a system add-on
• The engine is not listed in the list of engines for the user as specified by the configuration

Additionally, the engine should continue to be ignored across restarts.

We should also add tests for this, we should be able to simulate a system add-on being installed.

Shane, do you have a bug for the add-on manager work for supporting Normandy updates of search engines that we can mark as blocking this one?

The search service work for this is already being handled in bug 1631898, based on what we've been told. Bug 1635249 will track any remaining work we find we need to do later.
