Hey Paul,

Google has an entry for omni.ja

Yeah, I probably found the same. Being able to use existing "unzip" and
"zip" programs to un- and repack the .JA(R) file beats having to write it
myself.

The browser usually has a JIT compiler.

I thought about that too, but could not imagine why the file would than be
in the .JA file. But if I can't find anything about it I wil probably just
delete the binary .JS file and see what happens.

It's also possible nsSearchService.js is deprecated.

Its too early into my "diving in" to be able to say anything about that, but
as those two where returned when I looked for "browser.search.geoip.url" its
not likely.

Perhaps download the tarball for 52.9.0 ESR and have a look ?

Hmmm. My aim was figuring out the meaning of that second nsSearchService.js
file, and did not even think if it. The fun is that I did download the
sourcefile (you mentioned related to a previous question) and unpacked it,
just so I could do quick peeks in there when needed. :-|

The 204MB file.

Yup. The .tar.xz one.

I just renamed the "binary" nsSearchService.js file, and repacked the
omni.ja . Nothing seems to have changed ...
