Behavior is not new, tested with Nightly 90.a1 and 89.0b5 on Windows 8.1

When a user types a url in the addressbar or modifies an existing one at the end, the url might get suggested as autocompleted but this doesn't show the url title from a previous visit. E.g. when I type or modify a bugzilla url to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1708 and type 0, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1708050 will be autofilled but it's not possible to see its title (compared to secondary suggestions).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1708050
  2. Open a new tab.
  3. Close the tab from 1.
  4. Type bugz.
  5. Select the suggested url.
  6. Remove 50.
  7. Type 5.

Expected url autocompleted (?) and page title shown.

This is bug 1291573 -- you're right, not new -- so I'll dupe, but please correct me if I'm misunderstanding.
