Once unifiedcomplete is released, we can remove the unifiedcomplete pref, all the code supporting it and the old urlinline component plus its tests. This code is unmaintained but it's being used in the wild, plus supporting on-the-fly switch of autocomplete engines adds work we can avoid. for now we'll retain the history autocomplete component since it's used by Seamonkey, we can move it to suite in a separate bug.
we can also evaluate removing support for typeAheadResult in toolkit/autocomplete, it adds quite some complication to the controller code and it existed only for urlinline, that means undoing most of http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/51dcdc85081c
let's make this depend on bug 1206882, we may decide to do this sooner but it should be clear the most common complain is that bug.

Priority: P2 → P3
Summary: Remote the unifiedcomplete pref and the urlinline component → Remove the unifiedcomplete pref and the urlinline component
I think we should move on with this, with the new style the old implementation starts being unmaintained, and someone prefers to disable the feature rather than reporting bugs and improvement requests. This will also force us to really concentrate on issues and solve them.
Priority: P3 → P2
since the option is currently broken with the new redesign, we should probably speed up its removal.

ok, there are some failures to handle on Try.

There are a couple do_print I wrongly inserted into browser-chrome (browser_tabMatchesInAwesomebar.js and browser_599909.js), that I fixed locally. At the moment I have a ticket open cause my commit access is broken, so I cannot update the patch. Apart from that the other tests look good.
