User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0
Steps to reproduce:
I entered the first letter of a frequently visited website, which contains a subdomain (e.g. board.topic.com).
Actual results:
The Addressbar doesn't autocomplete the URL, unless browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark is set to true. Crucially, this applies to URLs whose domains are not bookmarked.
Expected results:
The Addressbar should expand my entry to the URL of the most visited site, at least if the visiting frequency stands out by a large margin. This behavior should not be dependent on aforementioned "bookmarks" toggle, as the two are functionally independent concepts.

The way my issue doesn't seem to overlap with bug 1582234 is that I don't have the sites in question bookmarked.
There's a bulletin board I visit often that I don't have in my bookmarks (I did a search in "All Bookmarks"), yet its autocompletion depends on whether browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark is enabled. The theory that it gets blacklisted because it's among the bookmarks doesn't make sense in that case.
I wouldn't be surprised if the two issues are still functionally related though, but there might be another issue in the code path.

May you have another bookmark to the same domain?
No, I should have mentioned that. I made sure isn't not just the subdomain.
By the way, some subdomains do auto-complete with browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark disabled, so this might be a threshold issue. However, I visit the site in question several times a day.

If you have ANY bookmark url CONTAINING that subdomain, it's affected by bug 1582234
You could try Firefox Beta, Firefox 71 Beta 5 has the fix, if it works there, that's the issue, otherwise we can reopen and do further investigation.
Thanks Marco, understood! I definitely don't have any bookmark containing the domain or subdomain ("isn't not" was supposed to read "it's not"). I have added the issue to my notes and will revisit it once Firefox 71 proper is released. With the bookmarks toggle enabled, I can keep browsing comfortably – I just think it's the wrong toggle.
