Firefox no longer suggests addresses in url bar
Usually, when I start typing the address of a website I visit frequently, Firefox will suggest the complete address. Now, for the last week or so, it doesn't. For example, if I start typing guardian.com, the default is to search, and then only when I type the final "m" does it switch to "visit" when I press enter.
In settings, under Search, and Address bar, the box to suggest browsing history is checked, and at about:config, browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true.
I have Firefox version 141.0.3

What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
Here's a screenshot of pandora.com that I'm on everyday and a screenshot of what I get after visiting guardian.com one time in my distro version of Firefox. Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

[Firefox on Linux]
For me this has been happening only on Plasma Wayland, and with all versions and release channels of Firefox. It started since my Debian (stable) system upgraded from 12 (bookworm) to 13 (trixie). Cannot figure out if this is a Firefox issue or Plasma (Wayland) issue.
When logged in on Plasma (Wayland): URL bar redraws and updates after each keystroke, and suggest/autocomplete is broken. Suggestions are only shown in the drop down, not the urlbar.
When using GNOME (Wayland), Plasma X11: Firefox URL bar works as expected.
