How do I delete all this damn crap? Must have been added with FF 140. The entries in about:preferences#search cannot be edited or removed.

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initially, it doesn’t do this, but if you do it repeatedly, Chrome eventually learns and sends you directly to that URL when you type "maps". The same happens with "gmail" or even just "gm", which redirect to "gmail.com" or "mail.google.com". Does Firefox have this kind of feature?
I think I browsed a reddit thread from a few years ago asking this same problem having something to do with autofill frequency which doesn't work, because the actual url is not, in the example of maps, maps.google.com and the url I want to enter redirects to it.

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
