Bug Description

When we raised bug #1885006 we stated that the `cleanup-old-distribution-search-engines.patch` is no longer necessary, as this has been fixed in other ways, namely:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623597

Unfortunately this was not addressed by #1885006.

The patch is no longer necessary - since that bug landed in 76 we have been correctly marking distribution engines as app provided, and distribution engines previously not marked as app provided will have been corrected.

If you feel it is still necessary, please explain why. If there are still bugs existing in relation to it, please let us know so we can fix the search service properly.

Thank you Mark for filing this bug to follow up on bug #1885006.

Dropping cleanup-old-distribution-search-engines.patch sounds reasonable to me (the description of the patch even explicitly says it can be dropped at some point in the future), and doing that early in the 79 beta cycle is best.
