1685991 - Add a Nightly Experiment option to search during IME composition

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P2)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

See bug 1673971, for now we can't easily detect whether we should search during IME or not, but we know that some users prefer that, and that when IME doesn't open a picker, the experience may be better.
To spread awareness of this pref, for now we can add a Nightly Experiment checkbox for it.

Hi Mak! Finally able to get to this.
In Features.toml I am not sure what the preference value should be for this new option. I saw https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/7792ae96b5bb and am thinking it should be something imeCompositionClosesPanel?

It's browser.urlbar.imeCompositionClosesPanel. It's added here in firefox.js. That file lists most of the prefs available in Firefox.

The scope of this bug now entails a bunch of changes to a pref, its tests, and a pref migration, so I'm bumping the points.

The comment talking about the default value being "true" is now wrong. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c0bc10e33507#l1.14
