Details

STR: - Download 55.0b2 - Open it on a new profile - Type something in the location bar - You get search suggestions (I'd argue this should be opt-in, rather than opt-out, but anyways), and a tooltip saying "Tip: Get help finding things, etc." with a Change preferences link. - Click the Change preferences link. Actual result: - This opens a tab on about:preferences#general-search, which is just the "General" tab Expected result: - A tab open on about:preferences#search. On nightly, this works because about:preferences#general-search does bring to the general pane, specialized for search, but that doesn't exist on beta.
