3. Wait until the Infobar notificaton "Nightly automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience - Choose What I Share" is displayed on the bottom of the page
4. Repeat these steps on the about:newtab page

Actual results:
When the Infobar is displayed on the screen, the search suggestions pop-up is moved down with some pixels

Bug 1066787 will make these suggestions use the standard toolkit/XUL autocomplete popup.

pretty edge case - but valid UX bug.

This is very hard to hit now, since we generally open a tab, however, I did get the notification bar to open on latest release by poking the code. The search autocomplete stayed in the same place, hence WFM.
