[Description:]
In quantum bar, i cannot select any searches after clicking the show history button

[Environment:]
69.0a1 Nightly Ubuntu 18.04 / Macos 10.14.4 / Windows10 all affected
68.0b13 Beta Ubuntu 18.04 / Macos 10.14.4 / Windows10 all affected
67.0.4 Release not affected because quantum bar is turned off by default in about:config

[Steps:]
-Launch firefox with clean profile
-Open new tab, type www.youtube.com , hit enter
-Youtube site loads.
-With your mouse, click on the Down arrow (show history button, its hidden, you have to hover over it) (button is next to page actions / save to pocket/ bookmark)
-List of search suggestions appear
-Press down key on your keyboard

[Actual Result:]
On ubuntu: search suggestion sites appear, but if you press down key it scrolls the page
on Windows: search suggestion site appears, but if you press down key it does nothing
on MacOs: search suggestion site appears, but if you press down key it does nothing

[Expected Result:]
when you press show history button, the site should be highlighted, and then you press down key on keyboard you can navigate to one of the searches.

[Note:]
Since this does not reproduce with awesome-bar & Fx67, don't think it's a recent regression.
this happens with quantum bar, does not happen with awesome bar

It scrolls the page for me, also on Windows 10...

Well, the site should not be preselected, but it should indeed highlight the first entry on DOWN.

Probably just need to focus the input? https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f91bd38732d4a330eba4e780812274b98eb81274/toolkit/content/widgets/autocomplete.xml#340

I don't really think this needs a test, but let me know if you think so.

If we want to fix this before release then this isn't a P3...

It may be late for uplift to 68. Worth asking rel-man sooner than later. Please file the uplift request.

Yeah I figured this would just wait to 69 given how late in the cycle it is.

We should try to uplift, if possible, there's still 1 week before the merge. while it's not the best time to do it, the urlbar is important enough to work properly in most cases.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: Quantumbar debuts in 68 so it would be nice to fix this for 68.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
• Needs manual test from QE?: Yes
• If yes, steps to reproduce: Please see comment 0
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): It's a one-line patch that just focuses the urlbar when the user clicks the dropdown arrow in the urlbar. There's not much risk that this will accidentally affect anything other than clicking the dropmarker. I've also tested the fix locally on Beta.
• String changes made/needed: None
