Everytime I try to put "Gm" on addressbar so that I get quick link of Gmail, I get Gmb.io?
Ive tried everything. Clear cache, browser history, when gmb.io comes, I tried to delete it on adressbar with shift+del but nothing works. It still shows gmb.io first even though ive never visited that page before. I dont know how to remove it and its very annoying. Please help.

Did you try to remove this item?
You can use these steps to remove saved items from an autocomplete drop-down list.
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
Note that hovering with the mouse no longer works.
You can disable auto-fill by setting this pref to false on the about:config page.
- browser.urlbar.autoFill = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

You can create a bookmark to the Gmail website and set a keyword (gm) to this bookmark to make it easy to access Gmail.
You can use "Forget About This Site" to remove references to this domain. This may not work if the website is a bookmark (has a star in the drop-down list).
"You can create a bookmark to the Gmail website and set a keyword (gm) to this bookmark to make it easy to access Gmail." -Ive done that and it still shows gmb.io before gmail. "You can use "Forget About This Site" to remove references to this domain." - I dont know how you do that but Ive cleared history and cookies before and when the name pops up I use shift+del(which is supposed to delete suggestion, multiple times with no use). -"This may not work if the website is a bookmark (has a star in the drop-down list)." The site isnt bookmarked.

Ive tried the shift+del (and ive written about it above as well). It has no effect on this suggestion for some reason. The autofill: off did help for the website to not show anymore but I want Autofill, I just dont want that site to pop up when I type "Gm" and I want gmail instead. I have tagged "Gm" with gmail and bookmarked it as well and still Gmb.io shows up.
On Windows you need to use Delete and not Shift+Delete to remove the selected item in the drop-down list.
Did you try to search the history for this website (domain) and use "Forget About This Site" ?

I have tried just delete as well as shift+delete in vein. I have never searched for the website. So, it doesnt show up when I search in history. only my searches on how to remove the suggestion pops up. I have removed them too. Still the first suggestion when I type "gm" is gmb.io instead of gmail. Which I wanted.
Edit: Thanks for trying to help me out. This has really frustrated me for a long time now. Ive finally tried to resolve it, but to no good as of yet. The autofill:false does help but I would like to keep autofill if possible. If nothing works, Ill just switch autofill off. Very surprising thatIve encountered this issue and only on Firefox and nothing else.

I personally do not like auto-fill and have disabled it (browser.urlbar.autoFill = false).
Are you possibly using Sync?

No, I guess Ill just put it on autofil=false.
