Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1124238

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

This is specific to my profile and history but

STR:
 * type in "docs" in the address bar and press enter

Observe (also see attachament):
 * autocompletes to "docs.google.com"
 * first frecency result is "devdocs.io"

Expected result: I navigate to docs.google.com
Actual result: I navigate to devdocs.io

Reproduces in 57 and 59.

This is actually by design, autoFill cannot fill things that don't start with the given token, so for "docs" it would only fill urls starting with "docs".

oh wait, I may have read the bug inverted, it fidn't autofill to docs.google.com, so it's rather a dupe of bug 1239708.
sorry for misreading.

Reopening because the screenshot looks bogus, something ongoing.

Looked over it on IRC, it's bug 1124238, if a keyword is present for the typed word, autofill conflicts with it.
