This issue is also reproducible on Windows 11.

We've got a few options here - the easiest might be to change this option to an item then move this onUserClick handler to the new Preferences.addSetting call for that item.

Alternatively we could make sure the click is actually coming from the moz-button in the current handler, but I think ideally we should be excluding moz-message-bar from our list of click handlers, so the former fix is preferred.
