So-called "Autocomplete items" appearing in the address bar will have a star if the website addresses are bookmarked - they are not history items. You’ll have to delete the bookmark or exclude them in settings to prevent the star from being displayed.

See the Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox support article.

"Autocomplete items from bookmarks will not be removed from the results if you attempt to delete them or clear the browsing history. These items have a star. To remove these items, delete the associated bookmark, or exclude bookmarks in the address bar settings."
