User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to uncheck “Show popular search suggestions”.

Actual results:

The function was grayed out and therefore uncheckable.

Expected results:

...

Only possible via about:config
browser.urlbar.suggest.trending true>false
which will effectively uncheck the function.

Any idea what's going on here, daleharvey?

We only support trending suggestions on a few particular engines, on engines that are not supported this checkbox will be greyed out. Just checking that you have a default engine other than Google / Bing right?

Either way we may want to revisit this with UX because it is a bit confusing behaviour

I confirm, I do not use Google or Bing.
