Note

• IMO, it comes as a surprise as under the guise of "quick actions", I'm opening sumo pages. It is unexpected that instead of performing an action, as an user I'm redirected towards a sumo page.

Additional notes

• In the same category also enters the Update quick action which has a SUMO as an action and where to my knowledge AFAIK most beef is with ophaned versions and annoyance for updates too often, so maybe that makes sense to be a SUMO.

I hadn't actually tried these quick actions, but after trying out the two use cases detailed here, this does feel pretty unexpected (and quick and dirty). I could have sworn that the older version of quick actions actually began a Firefox Refresh if users selected from the refresh Firefox prompt, which felt a lot more integrated.

I was unaware the urlbar interventions triggered the actions as I glanced through the code and on a brief test I only seen the url open which looks like a fallback, refresh, update and clear all have actions that they may be able to trigger so we should do the same

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:daisuke, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?

• If yes, please nominate the patch for beta approval.
• If no, please set status-firefox105 to wontfix.

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

The issue is verified fixed using the latest Fx106.0a1 on Windows 10, macOS and Ubuntu 22. The buttons now correctly point to the intended actions.
Please note that the problem with the update button is addressed in bug 1788666. Clear history and Refresh work correctly.
