The first entry is what we call the "heuristic" row, it tells you what is going to happen if you confirm what is currently typed in the urlbar. Afaik, it never had the title, nor the star indicator. The star indicator in this case would also be wrong, while specific urls are bookmarked, the origin that we autofill is not (the difference is subtle). Similarly, we may not know the title for the origin.

Autofill in Firefox works "up to the next slash", so what we autofill is not necessarily an exact url or bookmark, but it can be a part of it, as such it's very likely we don't have a title for that url fragment.

I'm setting this as an enhancement for now, but if you think this was working properly before and somehow break, we're happy to reconsider.
