I can confirm this, running Firefox 71 on Arch Linux. Autocompletion of domains from bookmarks is broken since 71.

However, in rare cases it seems to work: I exported all my bookmarks via backup, deleted the bookmarks in Firefox and re-imported from the backup. After a restart, the autocompletion of domains worked for a bit and then suddenly stopped working again.

Hello Team,
I've check this issue in 73.0a1 (2019-12-13) (64-bit) in windows 10 Nightly latest developer channel, but I can not replicate your issue in that. I think it is resolved in latest version.

I'm trying with version 71, will update you soon.

Thanks,
