URL bar only auto-filling domain

When I type 'mess', I want it to fully auto-complete to 'messages.google.com/web/conversations', not 'messages.google.com'. I want 'oura' => 'cloud.ouraring.com/dashboard', 'my' => 'myserver.localhost/whatever'.

In chrome I can delete the domain-only option from my history and it does what I want, prioritizing the most-selected URL. I've searched for dozens of minutes and ("dozens of us!") and haven't found a combination of about:settings and about:config changes that still does what I want. That is, I've found settings that worked in the past but they don't exist any more.

And why is only-the-domain the default? Who would want that?

Also, hitting down-arrow is not acceptable. I need a muscle-memory friendly solution.

Thanks!

Sometimes when I go to type something in the search bar, firefox will auto-predict what I'm going to type and suggest websites that I don't want just randomly popping up. Even though I don't have bookmarks on these sites, and they're not in my browser history, and I've cleared cookies and data, this still happens. I don't know what the problem could be here. I'm on ios, latest version of Firefox (this has been an issue for a minute). What should I check/do?

how do i restore the red save button on articles for pocket? It's blank now. The last mozilla update for firefox removed them and they are now hidden behind the three dot thing requiring extra clicks. How do I put it back how it was before? I don't like extra clicks. The kids who design this crap must have a lot of extra time to click three times to do what one click on the screen worked fine, but they always have to mess with it and make everything hidden, take longer and be more tedious. Stop this madness. How do I get it back how it was before they wrecked it?????? HELP

I need the shortcut search to work across a variety of keywords. For example, a search on the Mozilla Support website was called via: m, mzs, mozsup, If you add keywords separated by commas, the entire shortcut stops working, although there are multiple shortcuts in the default wikipedia shortcuts, such as w, @wikipedia.

Since yesterday, my Firefox app on both my iPad and iPhone had stopped autocompleting suggestions when I type in the search bar for sites I’ve visited before. Even things saved in bookmarks or pinned aren’t suggested any more which makes going back to some old websites a lot more tedious.

I’m trying to see if anyone has come across this issue as well, and if there’s any suggestions for how to solve this as the only suggestion I found here was to delete Firefox and download chrome, which no. Not happening.

I will visit a site, say engadget. Then I can open another tab, and I expect when I type en or eng or engadge that it'll autocomplete to engadget, but it won't. For some sites, it works, for others, it doesn't. I'm a developer and am used to figuring stuff out, but no matter what settings I change it doesn't consistently work. I use Firefox on all my devices but on this one machine, it doesn't work. I've triple checked the settings. I am this close to switching browsers, it's so frustrating. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How do I change the site addresses that come up when I click the address bar? Time was I got a list of sites that I use often, perhaps several time in a day. I still use those sites but some have been replaced by addresses that I've used once or twice and probably won't use again for months. Where's the sense behind identifying as a "favourite" something I use twice in a week but not again and throwing out something I use week in and week out. How do I get rid of these interlopers?

Why is it when I want to go to a different website, such as youtube.com or google.com, the bar will autofill because I've been to those websites multiple times. But after going to spotify.com numerous times, the autofill never shows up and I have to manually type in the whole "spotify.com" because the web search bar thinks I've never been there before. Why is that and can I fix it?
