Firefox Suggest is what we're labeling bookmarks/history now. They're "suggestions" from Firefox as opposed to suggestions from your search engine. It's a new feature from Product and I expect they'll be communicating about it later.

I just updated to Firefox 92 and I was just about to write this same bug. I haven't seen any communication about this and the first Google results indicate that "Firefox Suggest" is a study about injecting advertisements into the dropdown ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/navigate-web-faster-firefox-suggest ) not a renaming of the existing functionality. This was pretty confusing and concerning to me, until I found this comment which was the only explanation I've seen.
For the benefit of anyone else who finding this bug who doesn't have search suggestions and wants to reclaim the space from the label in that case, setting "browser.urlbar.groupLabels.enabled" to false seems to remove it.

The extra label shows up even when there are no other “groups” of results to differentiate between? That is super confusing.
