Bookmark doesn't autofill correctly

Some websites that I bookmark don't autofill correctly in the url bar.

For example, I have a website bookmarked as somewebsite.com/whatever/blahblah, however, when I try to access the website after typing it into the url bar (when history and cache is cleared), it only autofills to somewebsite.com.

How do I fix this? I never bookmarked somewebsite.com, I specifically bookmarked a subset of the site.

For example, youtube.com/feed/subscriptions will never show up in the autofill, even though I have it bookmarked. It will only autofill to youtube.com, which I DON'T have bookmarked. Looks like it's autofilling to only the base website.

Fortunately, I found the solution in this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1177601 (oddly enough, I had to go through the process twice as the first time was still giving me the same issue). It seems to work OK now.

Do you have a real example that we can view?
