When typing the name of a bookmarked site, it disappears from suggestions after a certain letter

When trying to open a bookmarked site, for example "https://mstdn.social/@noelreports", it suggests the site up until having typed in "noe". So, I can type in "n", "o" and "e" and get it suggested all the time. But as soon as "l" is added, the suggestion disappears. But this "l" is part of both the page title and the address, so that is really strange. Very irregularly, when I delete the last letter and retype it, the bookmark suddenly appears. On the synced Windows 10 installation of Firefox, everything works flawlessly.

What other suggestions come in its place ? Did you continue typing noelreports to see whether that makes the suggestion reappear ?

There are no other suggestions. It is my only bookmark containing this word.

Even when I complete typing noelreports, it will not show up. After noe, it remains disappeared.

I just re-tried on my phone. I had the page open already in another tab and entered noelreports in a new tab. As before, there was no suggestion. I locked my phone screen with Firefox opened and started writing this right here. When I just unlocked my phone and Firefox reappeared, it properly suggested the page for noelreports. After closing Firefox via home button and reopening it, the suggestion was gone again and the only way to make it re-appear was to delete all letters so it just said noe again.

When I tried to replicate it, locking and unlocking didn't make it appear, but then closing via home button and reopening Firefox did. It is really strange.
