Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1461736

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Mehmet]

Attachment: Bildschirmfoto 2018-05-16 um 18.09.47.png

Nightly 62.0a1 (2018-05-16) (64-Bit)
macOS 10.13.4 (But maybe OS=All)

1.) Open a new Window
2.) Clear all Browsing Data
3.) Visit macrumors.com
4.) Open a new tab and visit apple.com
5.) Close the whole window
6.) Open a new window
7.) Type ap into the Address Bar

Actual: Autocomplete of "apple.com" doesn't work in the Address Bar.

Expected: "apple.com" should be autocompleted in the Address Bar. 

A screenshot is attached.

This is a regression.

Thanks
Mehmet

Attachment: Dropdown disappears

I also noticed, that when opening a new window and in the case if the autocomplete is working, the Dropdown is disappearing. A screencast is attached.

The former is bug 1461736, not  sure about the second bug, is that also a regression?

Hello Marco,

Thanks for your feedback. Yes the first issue sounds like bug 1461736.

The second issue I mentioned is regression, too. Maybe same root as the first one? What do you think?

I honestly don't know, I cannot reproduce that problem.
You can use mozregression to verify that https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

Hello Marco,

I tried to bisect it, but I can also reproduce back to FF58 :-(

Interesting: I can not reproduce it on my iMac with macOS 10.12.4 with latest Nightly, but I can reproduce it on my MacBookAir with macOS 10.13.4 - also with a fresh Nightly profile.

May be this is a specific macOS 10.13.x-issue? Which OS are you using?

Not sure what have caused my mentioned issue 2. But a restart of my MacBookAir fixed that issue.

Merging this report then into bug 1461736, since my initial mentioned issue 1 is the same as described in bug 1461736.
