Details

This was discovered in bug 1144336, it appears that about:home is attempting it fetch search suggestions from search.yahoo.com even when the `browser.search.suggest.enabled` pref is false, and I think the page is also attempting to request a search suggestion for a blank query, which would be redundant.

Note that we're just opening the connection - not actually fetching search suggestions.
