Sigh... one more API ID that distros can't use and that breaks features... We should probably make all the associated flags (not only this particular one, but all of them) fail to build when building with --enable-release (which distros should be using)... because failing for local developers build is not going to pan-out. Then the choice whether to add an api key or not is in the maintainer's hands, so even if they decide not use the API key, at least they are aware of it. Although I could see this as annoying... I don't know.

With my Debian hat on, iirc, most if not all of those API IDs can't be used in distros because they have to be "hidden". (that's why they're not in mozilla-central to begin with)

Now, for this specific case, I'd advise removing the import feature instead of having weird errors when Firefox doesn't have the corresponding key.
