FirefoxAndroidURLAutofill.png
If I'm on some websites such as reddit.com or tiktok.com, when I tap the URL, it autofills something from my history. For example, I go to this tiktok frequently https://www.tiktok.com/@wearewatcher . If I just go to tiktok.com and tap the URL bar, Firefox autofills "@wearewatcher". If I hit enter, it will go to that URL, so it is indeed autofilling. It does this with many websites, not just tiktok. I have included a screenshot of what this issue looks like.
This issue is similar to https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/7934 and https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/6290 though I can repro using both Gboard and Swiftkey
Using Firefox Beta 114, Android 12, Google Pixel 3aXL

:skhan, could you have a look please?
For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.
I can still repro in Nightly and Stable. I was one https://www.bbc.com/ . Then I tapped on the URL and it autofilled "news" by itself. If I tap Enter on the keyboard, it'll actually go to BBC News. (I'm just using BBC as an example, I've noticed it with many other websites)
There is a second issue here I just noticed from a reddit post, though strangely, on my Pixel 4a 5G, I can only repro it while using Swiftkey, I cannot repro it using Gboard, but the reddit user seems to have the issue while using Gboard: in my case, I'm on bbc.com . I tap once on the URL, and you can see Firefox autofills "news" (because I've already been to bbc.com/news many times), and when I start typing, only the "news" part is being overwritten. Also, strangely, the first character typed doesn't show up. In the attached video, the first character I typed was a "t" but it didn't register.

This seems to be a bug filed years ago that was apparently fixed but is now back? https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/6290 it's a long bug but please read through it.
