Backspace Behaviour on Address bar

Consider the following scenario: I want to go to "nextcloud.com", so I go to the address bar and start typing. Unfortunately, I make a mistake, and the first character I type is 'b'. Firefox then offers the autocomplete "bc.co.uk", and highlights it. I type another different letter, the added autocomplete offer is replaced with the character I added, and it will try to offer another autocomplete suggestion with all the characters I have typed so far. However, I realised the 'b' was wrong, so I press <backspace> then start typing "nextcloud.com". Of course, the backspace key now only removed the autocomplete suggestion, leaving the original 'b' I typed (so I now have "bnextcloud.com"). My question: Is there a way set configure firefox so that the key sequence 'b' followed by '<backspace>' to return the address bar to the original (empty in this example) condition? If this means turning off auto-suggest, I am happy to do that, since I don't use it anyway.

Thanks.
