Steps to reproduce:

I often need to go into about:preferences and about:config to turn various accessibility fixes on and off.

Actual results:

If I type preferences into the url bar, a bunch of sites I've visited appear as suggestions, but about:preferences does not.

If I type config, about:config does not.

Expected results:

about:preferences should appear if users type preferences.

about:config should appear if users type config.

It'd cut down on extra typing or extra menu-mousing.

You can start typing about:preferences instead. Entirely internal pages should not come up as suggestions.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

Which doesn't turn up until I reach about:p

I doubt I'm the only one who has to use these settings several times every day.

Ever confirmed: true

This could be a good match for the QuickActions feature we're working on, rather than a normal match.
It may be available in the future as it's stil la work in progress.

Summary: If users type preferences or config into url bar, about:preferences and about:config do not turn up in the suggestions → [quickactions] Evaluate a quick action for preferences or config

Preferences is user facing and will now show up as an action when the user types "pref"

about:config is more internal and we warn users about making any changes there so I dont think we want to advertise it better
