What's your Firefox version? I just checked and "browser.urlbar.suggest.searches" still defaults to false on mine, and it doesn't show search suggestions.

  Version 67.0 on Ubuntu, in Europe (maybe that makes a difference?). And this same preference is set to true for me in about:config.

    I'm running v67.0.1 on Windows in the US and my preference is also set to true and says it is the default.

No, it's still opt-in. There's a prompt which asks you whether you'd like to enable search suggestions.

  As said for the other comment, on my 67.0 installed on Ubuntu, from Europe (if that makes any difference), I have no prompt on new profile and the suggestions are enabled by default. Not sure if that changes per region, operating system, or other reasons to be honest.
