Technically, Multisearch is implemented as an extension. You can
disable it if you like. But this is a straw man; if you want to argue
about a different bug, please don't do that here.

I was hoping somebody from the Ubuntu Mozilla team would weigh in with a
proper explanation of why the Firefox core cannot be patched, and under
what circumstances -- if any -- this policy can be deviated from. But
maybe that's a different bug, too. LP #411306
