I noticed that when using autocomplete in the awesomebar, that I was seeing weird results showing up as autocompleted, with seemingly unlimited bonus, coming up ahead of other FAR more frequently accessed pages. 

This is a reduced test case to try to get at one of the issues.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a new profile
2. Disable search suggestions in address bar results
3. Navigate to https://firsttimeux.tumblr.com
4. Bookmark page, don't make any changes to Firefox suggestion.
5. Close tab
6. Type "fi" into address bar

What happens:

autosuggested URL is https://firsttimeux.tumblr.com with no bookmark star badge attached to the suggestion. 

Expected result:

autosuggested page should appear with page title and with bookmark star badge alongside. If searching instead for ```* fi```, I get the result formatted in the way I expect.

I don't really understand why this is happening, and I hope a fix here can help me understand why some URLs are consistently autosuggested even though I barely navigate to them via the address bar (even though they are bookmarked), even compared to other bookmarked pages.

It is important to see the bookmark star because it is not obvious why the suggestion is appearing; it is not in my history (not a visited link), if I try to remove the suggestion via shift+delete, it will never delete (because it is bookmarked) -- the UI is not acting in a way that is intuitive - if I knew it was a bookmark, I would understand why shift+delete doesn't work.
