> However, there is now a bug in FF89 where if rich results is set to 0, the input field expands and the result pane appears for a brief moment. This is the absolute worse for epilepsy triggers. 

Was this bug filed? That's not expected and should be fixed, since it's a recent regression it has nothing to do with this specific bug, it should be filed apart and fixed. There has been a misunderstanding here, sorry about that.

> I agree! But then why in order to disable the expansion and shrinkage for a very valid accessibility reason are you suggesting that all results be disabled?

If the problem is flashing, removing those few pixel of expansion is not going to help at all with flashing. Two things would help with flashing:
1. Picking a theme that has a urlbar panel dark color, or just maintains the color of the input field, and there are many of those.
2. not showing results at all.

Regarding the panel growth, our accessibility team analyzed the epilepsy problem related to growing the panel but didn't identify specific problems with that, yet. we'll keep listening for feedback about it and act accordingly.
