How do I stop Firefox from suggesting recently-visited commerce websites in the new tab url dropdown

Firefox Suchvorschläge

This browser keeps doing this very annoying thing where it automatically pins recently visited commerce sites in a suggestions bar of a new tab's url. If I go delete the specific pinned page from my history, it will just grab a new page from the same website and pit that instead. For example, I recently visited chewy.com to purchase dog food. A page from Chewy became pinned in the dropdown for new tab urls. I deleted that page from my history. A different page from Chewy became pinned. This went on and on until I deleted *every single Chewy.com page from my history.* This is unwanted and frustrating behavior. Who does this help? I did my business on that website. I do not want to be told to go back and visit the site that wants my money. I know how to browse the internet. This is extremely annoying.

I don't use the url bar for searches and under Setings > Search there is an option not to suggest searches etc. and there is Firefox Suggest which I also disbale

It's not suggesting a search, it's suggesting I revisit a page I've already visited. It lists frequented websites there (bsky, reddit, a github project of mine, etc), and then, erroneously, it will have the last page I visited when online shopping, and it will only stop doing that if I delete all visited online shopping pages from my history. I have checked Firefox's suggestion settings and disabled things to my liking, but this is my formal complaint to Firefox that this is a stupid default behavior to begin with.

There was this bug few months ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2010941

"On Release we found users often saw autofill results that were not relevant to them. This patch adjusts the algorithm and makes it less likely for origins matching URLs that were rarely visited and only through link clicks to appear more frequently than other origins that were typed more often in the address bar."

Seems the "frecency" is still not working for you — would you mind opening a bug so that the engineers understand the circumstances and investigate the reasons for this? Thanks!
