Hi all, I'm using Firefox 140.0.4 (64-bit) on Debian Trixie and I'm getting a weird behavior with the auto-complete functionality of the address bar.

If I type the first character the address gets auto filled (see 20250711_First-character-auto-fill-working.png attachment), then if I type the second character the auto filled result disappears (see 20250711_Second-character-auto-fill-NOT-working.png).

I've tried any search option combination, but results doesn't change. At the moment I'm using for the address bar just "Browsing history" (see 20250711_Address-bar-settings.png).

The correct behavior would be, as in the past, that new characters confirming the address would leave things as they are. Do you have any suggestion on how to restore the original behavior?

Many thanks,

Raoul

I want to prevent a specific website from coming up as an autofill/suggestion in the search/address bar in Firefox. I keep looking all over the internet for help with this, but everything keeps saying that I need to click the three-dot menu on the suggestion when it comes up, and there is no such three-dot menu at all for me.

I do not want to completely clear all of the autofill/suggestions in the search/address bar, I specifically transferred all of that stuff over from Chrome because it makes things a lot easier. I just want to block this one specific website from coming up in this way.

Before anyone asks, no, I do not have this website (or any page from it) bookmarked. I have gone into the 'manage history' menu and selected "forget about this site" for it, and this has not removed it from the autofill/suggest.
