Expected results: Switch to tab suggestions should work without requiring history enabled.
Please rewrite steps to reproduce. What you have written is difficult to comprehend. [testday-20150710]
Couldn't reproduce this on Firefox 40 beta working as expected on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 are you still having this issue?

I tested again and the switch-to-tab feature now works as suggested. However, a switch-to-tab match will only occur with the matching URL, rather than the webpage title which is less than ideal. Most URLs are completely disconnected with the webpage title and so practically makes switch-to-tab useless. Only with browsing history enabled is the switch-to-tab match linked with the actual webpage title.

Per comment 3, I will close this bug. If any new information arises I will happily reopen the bug.
