User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bookmark and add a keyword for it. EX: http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/USNV0049:1:US with keyword "we"
2. Visit weather.com
3. Type "we" into url bar


Actual results:

Instead of displaying "we" the url bar autocompletes weather.com. This prevents the use of the "we" keyword without adding a space after the keyword.


Expected results:

The url bar should not autocomplete "we" since it is a keyword. This started to happen within the past few versions and strangely only happens to some keywords. It seems to happen with multi letter keywords more than single letter keywords.

I found Bug 720110 which described the same issue.

Noted same behavior, annoying. I use 'ups' as a keyword for my Uninterruptible Power Supply status page, sudden started visiting http://ups.com instead.

As a workaround, set browser.urlbar.autoFill to false via about:config.
It's called autoFill, right.
