Recent bug: "When using the location bar, suggest:" "Bookmarks" cannot be disabled anymore
Hi,
I just noticed that I'm getting all my bookmarks as search suggestions in the Location Bar. I was turning it off before by unchecking Privacy / "When using the location bar, suggest:" / Bookmarks.
The checkbox is still unchecked, but has no effect anymore.
This might be related to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1148423
However, the author tries to remove history from suggestions, whereas I want to remove bookmarks.
I managed to solve it by setting browser.urlbar.autoFill;false
however, it's still a bug in the interface, which was introduced recently.

Did you check the browser.urlbar.suggest prefs on the about:config page?
Note that if you have visited a bookmark that this bookmark will become a history item.
browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark is set to false and is shown in bold - I guess due to non-default unchecked state of 'Bookmarks' option in the privacy settings.
I just tried setting browser.urlbar.suggest back to true - the bug is reproducible. The setting cor-el mentioned has no effect.
My history list is empty when I test this.
These preferences control different things:
- browser.urlbar.autoFill => server name suggestions that appear under the cursor in the address bar itself as you type
- browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark, browser.urlbar.suggest.history => full URLs that appear in a drop-down below the address bar (bookmarks designated by a star icon)
Can you clarify what you mean with "search suggestions"?
Is that about the top item in the drop-down list (search xxx or visit xxx) or is this about suggestions you see further down in the list?
Yes, it's the first item that is being pulled from my bookmarks.
