1513453 - Url autocomplete doesn't work properly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[khmccurdy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

(Right after updating to 64.0) Started typing in the URL for a site I visit semi-regularly.


Actual results:

Nothing


Expected results:

The url should have autocompleted like it always does. 


Oddly, the problem doesn't happen with websites I've been visiting often, but less common and new URLs don't get autocompleted anymore.

We changed the algorithm that decides what is autofilled, so it's likely that less common or new urls may not be filled. To enforce filling you can bookmark (or even just Star) those pages.

If some page that you visit often doesn't fill, then I'll ask you to provide more details and run a few experiments for us. Just let me know.
