1868327 - 404 error pages are listed under Firefox suggestions

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Search, defect)

Description

[Denis Müller [:Webworkr]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:122.0) Gecko/122.0 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

I access an invalid URL and receive an individualized error page reporting an error 404 from the domain operator's server.
Sample: https://www.tagesschau.de/regional

Actual results:

According to my observation, such error pages are not kept in the browser history.

Contrary to my expectations, such web addresses appear among the Firefox suggestions.

Expected results:

This behavior is, in my opinion, inconsistent. If these URLs do not appear in the history, then they should not be included in the suggestions.

This behavior causes subsequent problems because as a user I currently have no way of deleting these suggestions if they cannot be found in the history. See feature request Bug 1807745.
