Since there already is an issue handling the enable/disable the feature, I'll also add that the about:preferences#search option to enable/disable the feature should also remove/hide it from the about:preferences#search / Search shortcuts.
Also, given that this feature will be first an experiment, maybe also a different pref to enable/disable the quickactions UI about:preferences#search option.

Maybe also telemetry on enable/disable?

Dale, can you take a look at this issue and clarify what are the expectancies in regards to this topic?

Adrian, I'm going to needsinfo Dale because he's been the main engineer on this project.

Adrian, thanks yeh that sums up what the enabling + setting options should look like. This slipped through the crack a little as the settings have been discussed and specced but should have been filed and probably implemented before enabling, but will use this bug to implement them, thanks.
