Product wants to remove the homescreen search widget added in bug 708707.
Attached patch Option 1: HideSplinter Review
This removes the receiver in AndroidManifest.xml, thereby Android doesn't know about a widget in the apk. (Minimal change).

Comment on attachment 705007 [details] [diff] [review] Option 1: Hide This is low risk and what we want to do for FF19/20. Preapproving for uplift, assuming green builds/tests.

Sriram - It's time to push Option #2 into Nightly.
Widgets are hidden for Firefox Mobile 19 beta 3 and Aurora 20.0a2 2013-01-23 on Nightly 21.0a1 2013-01-23 I can still find the widget so the 2nd fix has not yet made it to nightly. Verifying the fix for Beta and Aurora. Tested on: Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android 3.1)
Ah man ... I patched that forward!
The widget is no longer available for Nightly 21.0a1 2013-01-30 on the Acer Iconia A500 (Android 3.2)
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Landed the second patch: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/ca9f4c6458c4 (after a few months! :( )
