How do i make Firefox Android drop down menu suggest history instead of bookmarks?

In Firefox desktop, i can simply go to Preferences > Privacy and uncheck "Bookmarks" and leave "History" checked, on Firefox Android however, i couldn't find the options to do this. Right now every time i type something in the address bar a drop down menu appears and suggests me bookmarks, i wished it would only suggest history, like it happens when i'm using my laptop. Is it possible?

I don't see any option for that in menu > Settings.

If I open about:config and create the desktop preference and set it to false (browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark) that has no effect.

In summary, I can't find a way to do it.
