My Firefox just updated to 62.0 and now my URL bar doesn't automatically fill in site names like it did. "Fox" would become "FOXNEWS" but not now.

I would begin an address bar/URL entry like "FAC" and it would autocomplete as "FACEBOOK.COM" and I would just hit [ENTER] or "FOX" would become "FOXNEWS.COM", then I would have to hit [ENTER]. Those choices still appear in a drop-down list but it was faster when the URL automatically filled. I had this functionality until the update to 62.0 this week. Can I restore this function in the configs?

hi, have you set firefox to never remember history or clear it on shutdown?
