I'm glad I'm not the only one that prefers FF suggest over search.
For example if I wanted to visit speedtest.net I'll have to tab+enter as opposed to enter.
If I wanted to search I'd use the appropriate @ hotkey. Please provide an option at least. For a UX perspective; there's users who just search for everything and there's also users who don't need to constantly search.
Yes, a hotkey that jumps to the first "suggest" option would be helpful. I have like six or eight lines that commonly appear before "Firefox Suggest", and it's a chore to tab past them.
For example, in other browsers I just type "gma" + Enter to go straight to Gmail. But in Firefox, I have to use the arrow keys to find the page I want.
It’s not a huge time saver, but it would make things a bit easier.
Yes, please! I'm transferring from Chrome and this is a little bit annoying.
It makes the absolute sense for Firefox Suggestions to be on top because #1 it should only default to a "search" when all FF-Suggestions are unavailable, #2 usually searching isn't gonna be the user's goal - but to open up a tab from a site they always use.
Migrating away from Chrome and this has been my biggest gripe. It might not have been intended in Chrome but it always worked to start typing a link and would go where I intended, and if it didn't I could delete that suggestion and it would not appear again.
I don't need to Google a website to get there and I much prefer to type then click around.
I definitely agree that this is a great suggestion and I hope it gets implemented. But just for everyone reading this, you can go into your about:config and toggle the preference "browser.urlbar.autoFill.adaptiveHistory.enabled" to True to get pretty much the same experience you're used to in Chrome.

@walquisYou can make this better by going into Settings > Search and unchecking the "Show search suggestions ahead of browsing history in address bar results" setting.
I recently moved from Chrome to Firefox and all is fine, apart from how the seach bar works.
I often want to visit a subpage of a domain (e.g. https://yle.fi/tuoreimmat rather than https://yle.fi/) but when I type in "yl" and hit Enter, I land on the latter page rather than the former. Chrome did this right. On Firefox, the "correct" page appears as the first entry in the "Firefox Suggest" dropdown but it's annoying to type the first letters of a website and then press down to select that entry before pressing Enter.
Maybe change the search bar to suggest the URL of the most visited page of a domain rather than defaulting to the front page of the domain?
