Bookmark suggestions sending queries

Firefox Suchvorschläge

Hello! I just noticed that when I type a keyword related to one of my bookmarks into the address bar, Firefox suggests the bookmark to me—and also, my pi-hole query log shows queries being sent to that domain, even if I don't visit the site.

Is this normal? I'm confused as to whether I should have expected this. I had assumed everything related to bookmarks was stored locally. What information is being sent and requested when this happens? It feels like it could be a potential privacy issue to me, but hopefully I am misunderstanding something!

I guess it's downloading an icon for that bookmark.
