STR: 1. In Firefox Nightly (which has trending search suggestions enabled per bug 1832060), hit Ctrl+K. Take a look at the dropdown/popup. (You'll see some "trending search suggestions" dropping down from the address bar.) 2. Now suppose you'd like to turn those off. Go Firefox Preferences and type "suggestion" into the filter searchbar. 3. Un-tick the checkbox `Show search suggestions in address bar results` 4. Repeat step 1. 5. Go back to Firefox Preferences, and check add back the check for `Show search suggestions in address bar results`, and now un-tick `Provide Search Suggestions` instead. 6. Repeat step 1. ACTUAL RESULTS: I'm still seeing trending search suggestions appearing in a dropdown from my address bar, in step 4 and step 6 (i.e. if I un-tick either one of these checkboxes). The suggestions only go away if I un-tick **both** checkboxes. EXPECTED RESULTS: Perhaps the results should've gone away, if I un-tick one of these checkboxes. The labels here are a little confusing (it's unclear what the various combinations of checked/unchecked might internally represent for these two checkboxes). But from a user perspective, both of these checkboxes sound to me like an un-tick action would make these suggestions go away from the location bar. I see daleharvey mentioned the lack of UI for configuring these in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D177498#5852359 -- dale, do you know if that's tracked somewhere? Did we want to add that before letting these get to early-beta (as they will next week)? I'm a bit concerned that users will un-tick one or the other checkbox, see the suggestions remain, and conclude that the feature is broken/being-pushed-on-them.
