How do I prevent the address bar from suggesting already-open tabs? (or alternatively, suggest bookmarks first?)

When I start typing a url in the address bar, it creates a drop-down list and always suggests tabs that I currently have open, and the actual bookmark that matches the url at the very bottom.

For example, say I have multiple tabs open to various pages on Wikipedia. When I open a new bookmark, and start typing in 'wikipedia.com', it suggests all the pages I currently have open, and the bookmark to 'wikipedia.com' at the very bottom.

Is there a way to disable these suggestions, or at the very least, make sure any bookmarks I have are at the top of the list?

Hello michael0x2a, you can set in "When using the location bar, suggest:" > Bookmarks, see for analytical information : How can I control what results the location bar shows me?
