Firefox - the awesomebar seems to have two lists for in-line autocomplete and suggestions

Well, basically my problem is that the list of sites that autocomplete works for seems to be significantly more exclusive than that of the suggestions.

In particular, autocomplete will only offer sites in my recent history. Any bookmarks (and possibly older history) never appear, even though they do appear in the suggested sites list.

Normally, this isn't a big deal, but I find site suggestions to be a bit irritating, so I have browser.urlbar.maxRichResults set to zero so it never appears, but I keep autocomplete enabled. So, the only suggestions I ever get are from my history.

Is there a way to allow the autocomplete access to my bookmarks as well?

As you can see, suggestions pop up in the suggestion box (below the awesomebar, but aren't autocompleteled in the awesomebar itself).

This happens with anything in my bookmarks - history works as expected, with the first result both autocompleting and being displayed in the suggestion box.

There is a setting in Options for whether the autocomplete shows history, bookmarks or both. That's covered in this article: Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox ("How can I control what results the location bar shows me?" section).

That article also covers the preference to turn the in-URL-bar autofill feature off or back on (browser.urlbar.autoFill). That may or may not include bookmarks, but I think it prefers URL matches so might not be efficient depending on how you use the bar.

Is any of that relevant?

Browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true - autofill turns on, and works (but only for items in history).

I just double checked and it is set to suggest both history and bookmarks.
