Very recent regression, current Nightly, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Linux, X11 + KDE

  1. Click the address bar (any tab, including new ones)
  2. See a list of sites but no URL
  3. Click a site
  4. End up on a random subsection of said site

Not seeing the URL makes it impossible to determine what the actual destination of the suggested sites is.

For example, I have a history suggestion "Reddit", but clicking this won't bring me to the reddit frontpage, but to whatever subsection I've been visiting a lot recently (as is actually the case now, one that's been closed due to protests, whereas if the link would have visited the actual frontpage it'd have worked).

Same issue exists with other news sites, where clicking the address bar feels like playing Chatroulette.

I've not been able to reproduce this yet on the latest nightly on Mac.

It might be useful to know what your settings are under "Privacy & Security" -> "Address Bar — Firefox Suggest".

Maybe also "Search" -> "Search Suggestions" though I don't think those ones would affect this.

Looking for a regression window.
