(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101029 Firefox/4.0b8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101029 Firefox/4.0b8pre

If you enable Autofill and bookmarked a site whose name start with "M", when you open this site as a tab at ohter tabs typing "M" will force you to switch to this tab.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Three conditions:
Enable Autofill at about:config browser.urlbar.autoFill;true
Open any site that start with "M" (by name not address) i.e. https://forums.addons.mozilla.org/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=9cfc50d74c9bf43593180e8ad915c08a
Bookmark this site.
Then you open another tab and try to type "M" at urlbar, problem happens, it will force you to switch to said tab. you can't open other sites start with "M" by typing address.
This problem only happens with "M" whith is very odd.



It happens in latest b7 beta also.
Actually I hope FF can allow people to disable "switch to tab", it's useless to me and many others. For us it's nothing but trouble.

I could reproduce this with the STR mentioned in the bug. I created two screenshots, the first screenshot appeared after I typed "m" in the location bar and the second after I typed "o".

dup of [Bug 610720] Switch to tab recommendation gets in the way of loading the URIs I want to open in current tab ?
