We currently have the following in nsSearchService.js:

#ifdef MOZ_OFFICIAL_BRANDING
const MOZ_OFFICIAL = "official";
#else
const MOZ_OFFICIAL = "unofficial";
#endif

Building Firefox as a xulrunner application makes it having to choose between all xulrunner applications expanding {moz:official} to either "official" or "unofficial". This should be chosen at the application level.

Looks ok to me but I'd like gavin's eyes on it

Apps needing to remember to opt-in is a bit of a downside to this. How about leaving the build-time preprocessing for the default value in nsSearchService?

I think having the default in toolkit continue to depend on the build-time branding would be better, to protect against an app forgetting to opt-in to this behavior in the common case of it being built "standalone" rather than XULRunner-dependent.
