For Firefox 122, we're hiding the "Show search suggestions in address bar results" checkbox from about:preferences#search for users who only have the address bar in the toolbar, rather than the address bar and the search bar. That's the vast majority of users. Therefore, I suggest we just remove "Show search suggestions in address bar results" from both https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-suggestions-firefox#w_enabling-or-disabling-search-suggestions and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_search-suggestions. Screenshots need to be updated too.

on-train, Firefox 122
