Do you have "open tabs" enabled for the suggestions in the location bar? You need to press the space bar after typing the '%' => '% '.

The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, top sites, and search suggestions. You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.

    Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
    Top sites
  • Settings -> Search -> Search Suggestions
