the url for switch to tab matching to the letter I type into the url bar appears in the urlbar before I complete my word search or type in another url. I guess this has to do something with url bar autofill I enabled in "auto:config" but please exclude this function because It gets hard to search through the awesome bar because the whole website address embeds itself to the urlbar and my search text is continued on the website text

Reproducible: Always




This may have happened after I enabled some configuration like autofill from about:config
