I dislike this feature, too. It steals me many seconds in a minute to get the URL i desire to see.
Related to usability it get a

don't please tell me to report an issue
wait a second, @DoctorG is only trying to help YOU with YOUR issue, a bug can be reported multiple times as there are regressions, in this browser especially I saw bugs getting fixed and reappered multiple times in the years, so if needed, you HAVE to report a bug again when it reappears.

Who's talking about a reappearance? We're talking about a bug that has surfaced; it was never fixed and it never regressed. I shouldn't need to raise a case for an issue I've already raised if its status never changed. And why are you attempting to relitigate this after the good doctor and I already reached a resolution?
-
@5eagull I have just underlined the importance of reporting issues, I am free to comment on this forum as much as you are. When I replied I didn't notice the discussion went further, it wasn't my intention to "relitigate" anything, probably it was one of those occasion where I should have minded my own business.

@nelliott500 I reopened your tracker report.
I hope someone can check this. -
The Monday snapshot (2867.29) finally fixes search suggestions.
The release notes say "Autocompletes search suggestions and titles from browsing history", but the latter is still a bug. The address bar will still autocomplete page titles if you type them in; it should only do this for URLs.
Issue logged as VB-93420. -
Definitely not fixed in 5.6.2867.29. This is beginning to hit a level of frustration that I may not come back from. Not only is the address bar still autocompleting based on the last URL visited on a domain but the damn browser window is still missing its border. Bugs that hinder productivity need to be fixed!

It's 2022 who types into a URL bar? That's like a baby's game.

@AshSimmonds not sure if snarky comment, or actually means it.
what do you do instead of typing?

@nelliott500 I'm not able to reproduce the autocomplete issue you describe. Could you make a short video? Maybe there's something I'm missing.

I laid out step-by-step instructions here to easily reproduce the issue.
I also just recorded this video: https://i.imgur.com/tUZKzwq.mp4

@nelliott500 Thanks. Do you have google.com and google.com/drive bookmarked or are they infered from typed history/ history? Could you please enable the dropdown and check where it's autocompleting from

Okay, I'm seeing something similar. I'll raise the issue internally. There was supposed to be a bug fix for this exact scenario aka prefering the root domain if it exists in history but seems that it's lacking somewhere or was broken again by another change.
-
@mtaki14 Thank you so much for checking on this. It's been a frustrating two months dealing with this issue.

Just chiming in to say it's happening to me too. I bookmarked some reddit links and now it will either try to load the bookmarks first, then it will try to do what nelliott500 is showing, THEN it will do what I want it to do.
No guys, if I untick "Aways prefer bookmarks" it should not try to hint a bookmark I made years ago and went to once over reddit which I've loaded over thousands of times. The second issue has already been done to death this topic, so I won't expand on that.
