Superfluous entries as of Firefox 144 #438
Description
Here is a list of entries that have been removed or have become dysfunctional:
Actions and Quickactions
The browser.urlbar.shortcuts.actions preference in Firefox was part of an experimental feature known as Quick Actions, which allowed users to perform specific tasks by typing a command (like >) followed by a space in the address bar.
However, the feature has since been discontinued in its original form.
As of April 2024, Mozilla confirmed that Quick Actions are no longer being developed as a standalone feature. Instead, the functionality is being integrated into a broader initiative called "Secondary Actions".
Therefore, the browser.urlbar.shortcuts.actions setting is no longer a valid or active configuration option in current Firefox releases.

Since Pocket has been retired, this should be removed:
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includePocket
= OUTDATED, Peskyfox, line 320
I've got a question about these Pocket-related entries:
What is Pocket BFF? Should it be removed as well?
