Steps to reproduce:

Start typing out what was the major event in 19 into your address bar.

Actual results:

Firefox shows 3 Google autocomplete suggestions with the same trimmed text: "what was the biggest event in 19..."

Users are upset with this behavior:

This gets really annoying when I'm trying to search something at all long because I can't see what it is autocompleting. 

Expected results:

When a search engine offers multiple autocomplete suggestions that start with the same exact text, Firefox could trim the first part of the queries instead:

  • ... biggest event in 1960
  • ... biggest event in 1970
  • ... biggest event in 1920
