1929014 - Disable new ESC behavior in Address Bar for Firefox 133.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

The feature caused a regression tracked in bug 1926435, that also caused a test permafailure on landing. Since in the end it only had about 1 week of Nightly testing, we're going to delay releasing that change to Firefox 134.
