I'd like to begin by saying I am an IT proffesional and a devout firefox user and supporter of the Mozilla Project. I've been using firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S4 for about a year. About 4 months ago firefox started exhibiting this issue. When I open firefox and start typing a search term into the address bar it automatically inserts a previously browsed URL before my query . For example: if I had previously visited IBM.com and later I type "intelligence" into the address bar, it will automatically insert IBM.comintelligence. This proves to be very annoying because I have to erase the entire field then type the word again. If someone could at least point me in the right direction for a possible solution I would be very greatful. Thank you.

This is resolved in Firefox 32. It is currently available in the play store as Firefox Beta. It will become the released version of Firefox on Sept-02 (mid day Pacific time).

I will uninstall Firefox 31 and install the Firefox 32 beta to test. Thank you for your response, I will post back here with results in a few days.
