Inspired by a post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/c4auky/enable_url_autocomplete_of_subdomains/

I am seeing some unexpected behavior around autofill suggestions in the addressbar. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disable search suggestions in address bar
2. Type https://play.google.com/music/ and press enter into address bar
3. Notice page loaded is https://play.google.com/music/listen
4. close tab
5. Type ```pla``` into address bar

What happens:

The suggestions that appear are:

```
https://play.google.com
Google Play Music - https://play.google.com/music/listen
play.google.com - https://play.google.com/music/
```

Expected result:

```https://play.google.com/music/listen``` is the page that is atuofilled, since it is the page that I actually loaded in step 2-3. Less ideal but still acceptable as a suggestion would be ```https://play.google.com/music/``` since that is what I literally typed.

What doesn't make sense to me at all is why ```https://play.google.com``` is shown as a suggestion - I never navigated OR typed the url. 

It is worth noting that this doesn't always happen. If I navigate to ```https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res_ipsa_loquitur``` and then type either ```wiki``` or ```res```, I am not suggested to go to ```https://en.wikipedia.org/```, for example.

Additionally, navigating to https://play.google.com/ would actually end up redirecting me to https://play.google.com/store which is also not where I wanted to go, so it is really a poor suggestion -- it doesn't even take me to the place it says it is going to go (and I didn't even want to go there, based on what I had previously typed).
