URL suggestions don't show bookmarked or pinned sites as first option

Hello, everytime I want to open a website that I frequently use, Firefox fails to suggest it as first and rather suggests the "base" url. Example: I want to open https://www.arabdict.com/en/deutsch-arabisch but typing "ara" in the URL input field always suggests https://www.arabdict.com although the first link is both bookmarked and pinned on home. Can someone tell me how to fix this if it's even fixable yet? Chrome does this if you want to compare the user experience I'm missing since switching to Firefox. Thank you!

P.S: sorry for the first screenshot, I couldn't catch the suggestions menu with the built in screenshot tool.

Adam.I, not sure if there is a way to re-order the drop down list results. However you can restrict the results to bookmarks only by typing an "*" before the search term. For example, "*ara" should only show matching bookmarks for the term "ara".

You can also search for, for example, only history or open tabs by using other symbols. For more ways to filter results see the "Changing results on the fly" section here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox
