Yes, it seems the address bar "autocomplete" function does not show bookmarklets (javascript: protocol addresses) as bookmark matches.

This will roll that back:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste javas and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.urlbar.filter.javascript preference to switch the value from true to false

Does that help?
