Could you please try this with browser.urlbar.experimental.firefoxSuggestLabels.enabled
set to false, and/or with a Nightly before bug 1709992 landed? I don't think this has anything to do with that bug or the Amazon suggestions label. I think what you're seeing is just that the Amazon suggestions take a moment to arrive, which was always possible. If you disable that pref and/or use an older Nightly, do you still see the Amazon suggestions disappear and reappear?

@Drew, yes you are right. This behavior was not introduced by bug 1709992. I have managed to reproduce the issue on Firefox 88.0.1 release without the Firefox Suggest feature.

Thanks. This is due to the async nature of urlbar view updates. In general we prioritize showing results as fast as possible even if it comes at the expense of flickering like this. It may be possible to improve this specific case, but the larger issue is async updates.
