Found in

• 148.0a1

Affected versions

• 148.0a1

Tested platforms

• Windows 10, macOS 15, Ubuntu 22

Preconditions

• Set pref browser.settings-redesign.enabled = true
• Set pref browser.search.region = US
• Already have at least one address saved

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://luke-chang.github.io/autofill-demo/basic.html
2. Click the any address field in order to open the address autocomplete dropdown.
3. Select Manage addresses from the autocomplete dropdown.

Expected result

• The highlight for the "Addresses and more" section after the user is redirected to the "Addresses and more" section in settings should also include the "Addresses and more" title.

Actual result

• The highlight after the user is redirected to the "Addresses and more" section in settings is not the same as it is for Payment methods. The highlight for payment methods section includes the "Payment methods" title as well. The highlight for the "Addresses and more" section does not includes the "Addresses and more" title.

Notes

• See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2007608#c10
• Selecting Manage addresses or Manage payment methods from the autofill dropdown redirects the user to the Permissions section if about:preferences#privacy page is not already open. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2002934#c1

browser.settings-redesign.enabled is disabled by default so this shouldn't affect release.

I just verified this issue in Nightly 149.0a1(2026-20-01), and the highlight after redirect behaves differently now. Only the edges of the payment methods or addresses section is now highlighted(see the video attached). Is this the expected highlight for the latest Nightly build?
Also, selecting Manage addresses or Manage payment methods from the autofill dropdown redirects the user to the Permissions section if about:preferences#privacy page is not already open issue is still reproducible.

Thanks for the report Alin! Just to double check, has this issue always existed or is it new to the settings redesign changes?

@Micah, this is a newly settings redesign issue. It was not this way in the past and it is reproducible only with browser.settings-redesign.enabled set to true. Mozregression points to bug 1994888 as the regressor.
