[Affected versions]:
- Firefox 65.0a1
- Firefox 64.0b9
- Firefox 63.0.1

[Affected platforms]:
- macOS 10.14
- macOS 10.13
- Windows 10 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Enable the search bar from about:preferences#search by clicking on "Add search bar in toolbar" option.
2. Write something in the search field.
3. Click outside the field.
4. From keyboard press on Ctrl/Cmd + K.

[Expected result]:
- The search field is in focus.
- The search suggestions are displayed.

[Actual result]:
- The search field is in focus.
- The search suggestions are not displayed.


[Regression range]:
- It is a regression. I will try to find a pushlog as soon as possible.

[Additional notes]:
- The issue is not reproducing on Ubuntu.
I can't seem to find a regression range. Because on the older versions of Firefox it's either reproducing or not.
But I think the problem originated somewhere in the first half of October 2017. 
I can reproduce the issue every time on the latest versions of Firefox.
I cannot reproduce the issue on Nigetly65.0a1 Windows10 and Firefox63.0.3 as well.
I did some more research on latest Nightly and the bug is reproducing only when you activate the Search bar the first time on a profile. After a restart the bug is not reproducing anymore. But I can still reproduce it on latest Nightly and Firefox 63.0.3.
Summary: The search suggestions are not displayed if the search field is focused by using Ctrl/Cmd + K → The search suggestions are not displayed when the Search bar is first activated and is focused by using Ctrl/Cmd + K
I can't reproduce this on Nightly either.  And if it only happens in certain STR once per new profile (which again I can't reproduce), it's not a high priority without more evidence or more common STR.  We do have special handling to open the popup when it receives focus, so it's not inconceivable there's actually a bug here.
Priority: -- → P5
Marking fix-optional for 65 and 66 so that these already triaged issues don't show up repeatedly in weekly regression triage. Happy to take a patch in nightly.

I did more digging and I found out two things:

  • This issue is not a regression.
  • The bug is reproducing only if the focus is on the tab, not on the content of the tab. Please look at the attached gif. This happens when you click on the tab and then try the Ctrl+K command and for some reason it happens when you are on the about:preferences page and the focus is just on the page.
Severity: normal → S4
