A similar feature is also present in other browsers and tools. We can use the Command Palette feature in Edge browser, Commander feature in Chrome browser, and Command Palette in Windows Terminal.

How to use Quick Actions in Firefox
You can use Quick Actions in the Firefox browser using the following steps: In addition to that, Firefox will also show you Quick Actions options when you type something in the address bar. You don’t have to activate Quick Actions for that. If the typed query or keywords matches any of the Quick Actions, then it will show the related action in the address bar suggestions.
For now, the actions are limited but it is possible that we will have more and more actions like Take a screenshot, Print, Open Inspector, etc., in future updates. Such actions are already in the developer builds of Firefox so there are chances that we will have them in the stable version too. Also, all the actions work as they should except for a couple of them. For example, the Refresh Firefox action results in a page not found action. This could be a bug that we hope would be fixed with new updates.
Hope this helps.
