Reverting Firefox's recent URL bar suggestion order change
willj.net
In a recent update Firefox changed the order of it's URL bar suggestions order to make search suggestions appear first before recently visited URLs. This is annoying so I changed it back.

tldr; Firefox changed the order in which suggestions appear when you start typing in the address bar. It used to show previously visited websites first. Now it prioritizes its own suggestions.

To get back to the old behaviour, navigate to about:config, search for the key browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst and change the value to false.

    There are search suggestions and there are also Firefox suggestions. You can see them both in the settings separately.
