  • 0105e
    • we disable AS, and clearing the default does not stop someone adding their own (it's a different pref) should they chose to use AS
    • otherwise, to get rid of the topsites when clicking in an empty urlbar, users have to either know about this pref or enable AS and go manually remove them all
    • this is cleaner than disabling topsites with browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.default.sites as that actually breaks the functionality (should users want to use AS and topsite suggestions)
    • we don't disable topsite suggestions: 0850a: 78+, browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites is inactive
    • this is the list you see when you click in an empty urlbar, and obviously if you have no topsites then the 0850a pref is rendered useless for suggestions as you type, but doesn't break the functionality if a user does add their own topsites
    • capisce? easy peasy? clear as mud?
  • 0850a
    • we could elaborate that this is for suggestions when you start typing/pasting (i.e not the same as topsites) - IDK
  • settings (changed)
    • we can remove these two when ESR68 hits EOL, meanwhile I just tagged them as (FF72-)
  • settings (not changed)
    • 0517 does not seem to exist: [SETTING] Privacy & Security>Forms and Autofill>Autofill addresses (FF74+)
    • I tested vanilla profiles in 74+, and system addon formautofill@mozilla.org.xpi is present
    • maybe I'm doing something wrong
  • 0420: ui.PRM
    • maybe you can word it better

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.default.sites is a string pref. Otherwise 👍

re: 0517 - I tested it in a vanilla FF78. Because by default extensions.formautofill.available is set to detect and extensions.formautofill.supportedCountries is US only, it depends on the region lookup on whether it shows up in the UI or not.
No outgoing connections were allowed for FF in my testing but I was able to make the UI setting show up by setting browser.search.region to US and restart FF
