(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

Attachment: bug_in_resultlist.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140801030201

Steps to reproduce:

1) Add google to your bookmarks
2) Type google into Location Bar


Actual results:

Google is 2 times to see in the Resultlist


Expected results:

I don't want my Search Engine in the Location Bar Resultlist. This is redundant.

Maybe you can enhance the Location Bar option in the Privacy Tab in the preferences to hide search engines from the Location Bar.

Thanks!

Those are 2 different domains, while they might redirect to each other, we can't know that, thus we can't de-duplicate it (this is not just google, there are millions of domains who might do the most fancy things).

The fact we complete to search engines is a wanted new feature.

Fwiw you can disable search engines autoFill by adding a bool pref browser.urlbar.autoFill.searchEngines set to false in about:config (from today's Nightly on, it won't work on earlier versions)

For the above reasons, unfortunately this is a wontfix.

Great! Hope to see a combined Address & Search Bar in future :-)
