267780 - Location bar autocomplete should show site root above each domain's URLs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 240397

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Justin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

Quite oftern I go to type in a domain, and the only URLs that appear in the
history have a long path when all I really want is the domain. Or the domain
appears way down the list.
One example of how this can happen is if you get linked to articals on a site
more oftern than you visit the homepage.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing the domain of a frequenty visited site to which you don't visit
the homepage/root that oftern.
Actual Results:  
Many URLs for the domain appear, but they all have paths after the domain. E.G:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
http://www.mozilla.org/developer/
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/release/0.9/
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

Expected Results:  
The site root should always appear first in the list, even if it has never been
visited. E.G:

http://www.mozilla.org
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
http://www.mozilla.org/developer/
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/release/0.9/
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

I'm using FireFox 1.5a and I still have this problem. Does anyone have an idea
on how easy this is to fix, or when it may get fixed?
