STR 1. Reduce the width of your Firefox window (or add icons to your toolbar) so that your URLbar is less than 650px wide -- i.e. skinny enough so that **urls get displayed below the page title** in autocomplete suggestions (instead of being displayed to the side of the page title) 2. Open one tab at https://example.org 3. In another tab, type "exam" into the URL bar, and pay attention the "Switch to tab" entry in the dropdown. 4. Press your Ctrl key (or Cmd on mac) ACTUAL RESULTS: * The switch-to-tab entries change to just regular same-tab suggestions, which means the URL becomes visible. * When the URL shows up, that makes the entry taller. * So your whole autocomplete popup changes layout. * So e.g. if you're about to click some other entry, you might suddenly click the wrong thing because everything just moved out from under you. EXPECTED RESULTS: No such sudden relayout when I press Ctrl (or Cmd). Maybe we should make these entries tall enough to have space for their URL up-front, so that they don't get taller and force a relayout? Note: This is worse if you have the about:preferences `Show search suggestions ahead of browsing history in address bar results` option *un-checked*. In that configuration, the tab-switch suggestion is grouped at the very top of the autocomplete popup, so that entry's height-change causes essentially the entire contents of the popup to move.
