1833734 - Option to hide the dismiss from history UI from the url bar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement)

Description

[Will Shanks]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new tab.
2. Start typing text to search through browsing history
3. Press tab several times to select the URL to visit

Actual results:

Starting with 113 and the Firefox Suggest feature, there is a new UI element ("...") on each entry in URL bar that when clicked shows a menu with "Remove from history" and "Learn more". This UI element gets selected when using Tab navigation. Now it takes twice as many tab presses to navigate through the list.

Expected results:

Perhaps this is the new intended behavior (for accessiblity). I just to raise it in case there are many others like me that follow this pattern of searching and then tabbing. Perhaps the "..." elements could be at least optionally suppressed or made lower in the tab selection priority than the URL entries.

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.

I believe this is expected but marking as new so that dev team confirm if this is expected or not.
Thank you for your report.

Reporter, we got a suggestion from our dev team to continue using UP/DOWN arrows or set pref "browser.urlbar.resultMenu.keyboardAccessible" to false in order for tab to ignore/jump over that button. Let me know if that helps. Thank you.

Toggling browser.urlbar.resultMenu.keyboardAccessible works for me, thanks!
