Display URL before TITLE in Awesomebar

I went to type the beginning of a set of URLs in order to get an overview of the different results - but what I get is very messy to look at when it comes to comparing the actual URLs: The title gets displayed before the URL, resulting in URLs having all kinds of x-offsets, meaning I can't look at them to check where the URLs differ 

   mysite.tld/
   mysite.tld/page-name
   mysite.tld/other-page-name


turns to 

   Page title     mysite.tld/
   Page title of second page     mysite.tld/page-name
   Page title of a third page, showcasing the issue even more     mysite.tld/other-page-name


Is there a way to turn that into 

   mysite.tld/     Page title   
   mysite.tld/page-name     Page title of second page   
   mysite.tld/other-page-name     Page title of a third page, showcasing the issue even more


or simply remove the titles?

Thanks, everybody

The autocomplete drop-down can be modified using custom style rules.

For example:

http://www.ghacks.net/2016/08/10/firefox-url-before-title/

I haven't added that feature to my custom style rule yet, but the above is compatible with the default settings of my style: https://userstyles.org/styles/122394/url-bar-tweaks-remove-visit-search-limit-width (hides the top row with Visit/Search information)

God dammit, that result popped up but the title was so poorly worded that I thought it was about input focus or something and didn't give it a second look!

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for, I already had Stylish installed, it took me two clicks to get it right again! THANK YOU!!! :)
