Only show typed addresses in urlbar

My URL bar is setup to only show history (not bookmarks or open tabs). I recently updated from Firefox 60 to 65 and the behaviour was that in the dropdown to the right of the URL bar this would only show addresses I had typed and successfully connected to, now this is showing the full history.

For example, in a clean Firefox with no history, if I had typed "mail.google.com" into the URL bar then navigated around my email account, the only address in that dropdown would have been https://mail.google.com, now it shows all of the pages I have viewed within gmail. It's only a minor annoyance but I'd prefer the dropdown only show the addresses I've typed rather than everything - and save the history search for when I start typing in it.

Having googled around this, it seems in some earlier versions of Firefox there was a setting which controlled this behaviour in about:config, which I can no longer find, is there any way to re-enable this functionality?

Well, thanks for the information, that's disappointing. In fact looking at the list of config options that have been removed from comparing them between 60 and 65 is startling.

No worries, I'll go back to the ESR until that's no longer supported I guess.

No, that isn't possible. Support for browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed has been removed and this pref will no longer have effect in current Firefox releases.
