FF does not start the URL that I want when I start to type

Hello, thank you for reading.

I've gone from Chrome to Edge (long time user) to Firefox now and started it seriously now but one of the things that annoys me a lot is that it refuses to go to an older URL I typed like from my store.

It just wants to go to the basic .com I've already tried to delete, shift-delete etc the URL that it wants to fill in but it does not work. Other browsers are smart enough to remember when I forced them or just entered it 10 times and then it knew that I wanted that URL.

Is FF able to do this? Kind regards.

It is constantly going to Etsy.com when I type instead of Etsy.com/shop/xxxx like all the other browsers And it's doing that with all URLs

Quote doesn't seem to work or it's not updating in this screen.

When I type E, Etsy.com shows up. Now I have to type way more before it finally starts to recognize Etsy.com/shop/xxxxxxx

All the other browsers learn this or can delete the Etsy.com from the line so it will jump to the next one you typed before.

My 2 previous replies were not showing up.

Trying this again............ I went to www.etsy.com/shop/xxxmyshop

Now FF constantly only want to go to Etsy I have to type way more before it finally goes to that URL I want to go Other browsers remember this when you enter it several times they move it to the top, others you can keep deleting URL from the bar until the one you need is left. All other browsers go to the etsy.com/shop/xxxmshop after I press E. Firefox just doesn't want to do it or I don't know how, yet.

Kind regards.

seems I cannot type any form of URL so how am I going to give an example then....................... sigh

its so simple when I press B it goes only to B com but not B and the resst of the entire URL I went before

All other browsers remember this full URL not just the front of the main URL w/e some brwosers you can delete unwanted some brwosers remember after a few times typing it then it will always go there when you prees the first letter
