How do I stop Firefox from suggesting recently-visited commerce websites in the new tab url dropdown
This browser keeps doing this very annoying thing where it automatically pins recently visited commerce sites in a suggestions bar of a new tab's url. If I go delete the specific pinned page from my history, it will just grab a new page from the same website and pit that instead. For example, I recently visited chewy.com to purchase dog food. A page from Chewy became pinned in the dropdown for new tab urls. I deleted that page from my history. A different page from Chewy became pinned. This went on and on until I deleted *every single Chewy.com page from my history.* This is unwanted and frustrating behavior. Who does this help? I did my business on that website. I do not want to be told to go back and visit the site that wants my money. I know how to browse the internet. This is extremely annoying.

I don't use the url bar for searches and under Setings > Search there is an option not to suggest searches etc. and there is Firefox Suggest which I also disbale
It's not suggesting a search, it's suggesting I revisit a page I've already visited. It lists frequented websites there (bsky, reddit, a github project of mine, etc), and then, erroneously, it will have the last page I visited when online shopping, and it will only stop doing that if I delete all visited online shopping pages from my history. I have checked Firefox's suggestion settings and disabled things to my liking, but this is my formal complaint to Firefox that this is a stupid default behavior to begin with.
