Build ID: 20180810100128

Steps to reproduce:

Visit https://ardmediathek.de many times.


Actual results:

It won't be autocompleted once you type in `ard`, but only suggested.


Expected results:

Firefox will directly propose to navigate to the site and completes the urlbar.
Component: Untriaged → Address Bar
I'm sorry, the URL actually is https://www.ardmediathek.de/
This is probably a result of the new autofill algorithm.  We added a frecency threshold, so now for a domain to be autofilled, its frecency has to be >= the frecencies of all domains in your places database.  If you visit the domain enough times so that its frecency meets this threshold, it will be autofilled.  See bug 1239708, where this was implemented, and the many other bugs linked off of that one for discussion.

There's a separate question of how/when frecencies are updated that depends on how exactly you're visiting the domain.  Bug 1464270, bug 1466233, and bug 1467631 (at least) address that.  Depending on how you visit the domain, its frecency may not be getting boosted as much as it should be.

Sorry, >= *the mean of* the frecencies of all domains
