When I open a new tab on Android as of a few weeks ago there are no suggestions, except to swap to a previous tab with a similar name to what's in the address bar. If I hit the search drop down to the left of the address bar or hit enter in the tab and retry typing suggestions appear. See attached images for reference.

Hello!
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new tab 2. Start entering something into the search bar
Expected behavior: suggestions from the current search engine are displayed Actual result: only Firefox suggestions are displayed
Note: after tapping SE selection button and selecting a search engine (including the current one), the suggestions appear as expected

This is feedback, not a question.
If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.
Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

On latest nightly, starting about 24 hours ago, when I type things into the search bar I randomly get taken to a piece of my browser history instead of searching for the term in question.
If I hit back and then enter it repeats the behavior. If I hit back and prepend a ? then it relays the entire line with the ? included to my search engine.
I think there is an issue with the auto complete because it is not indicating that it is actually completing but that seems to be what is happening.
Maybe this is also related to the cursor lag I have seen lately in the search bar. You can be typing and it will display letter out of order or seemingly so until it catches up. Basically the cursor doesn't move in the search bar like it used to. That's been going on for over a month.

A website has moved a while ago, but when I type in the first few letters, I still get the URL to the now defunct site suggested. I tried long-pressing the entry under "Firefox Suggest", but do not get any options to remove it.
Since the defunct URL starts with the same 10 or so characters as the new one, I always have to type a lot to get to the correct page. On the other hand, I use it to rarely to warrant a bookmark.
