Can't clear autosuggest

I've been having issues with the websites that I commonly go to no longer appear on the autosuggest list. Websites I haven't gone to for ten years appear when I type in a given sequence rather than more common ones. Website that I go to every day no longer appear.

Multiple websites suggest this sequence:

I follow the "clear all.." and nothing changes. How can I start anew and have FF re-learn my url history?

It will take time for autofill to learn which sites you visit frequently after clearing browsing history. Until then you may see very old bookmarked sites being autofilled.

Go to about:support in the address bar, scroll down to the "Places Database" heading, click the "Verify Integrity" button and wait for it to complete. The output will indicate if there are errors with the database and if they were fixed.

It's been a week and I'm getting the same behavior even though the "verify integrity" came out fine.

Backed up bookmarks, which appears to be all I really care about in places.sqlite and deleted all three. Verified that no FF process are running and restarted and I'm still getting the same behavior.

Is there any way to start fresh without a re-install?
