Hello. In privacy and settings, I have only checked "Bookmarks" for the option "When using location bar, suggest:". And yet it suggests websites that aren't bookmarked, in my history, open tabs. Assuming this is working as intended, how can I get the above functionality? How can I limit my location bar to only autocompleting bookmarks?

Oh and in the search tab of prefecences, disabling "provide search suggestions" disables ALL suggestions. If this is working as intended, in not way is it intuitive or self consistent. Thank you.

That is frustrating. I did a test in version 40 and its more consistent. With search suggestions on and Bookmarks only checked it only shows bookmarks. [they will have a blue start next to the listed url]
