Have an issue or maybe it is a feature...

Here are details

  • latest iOS 13.3.1
  • Latest firefox
  • No search engine suggestions (switched off)
  • No browsing history (switched off)
  • No offline data (switched off)
  • Incognito mode switched on
  • Tracking protection is switched on
  • Block trackers is set to strict
  • Have only couple of favorites

Symptoms When you type in address field just one letter “L” it offers live.com And there are more like this for other letters

Is this a sponsored URL? I don’t have them on my firefox desktop. Or, somehow device has been compromised?

Indeed. It looks like a auto suggestions feature for paid content. So far I don't see any option disable auto suggestions.

I do recommend to open a feature request. Simply send your comment via email to ios-feedback@mozilla.com or go to Firefox > Settings > Send feedback. Even better open a feature request on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

Just checked again and performed few more actions:

  • Despite browsing history has been switched off and cleared many times some entries somehow have been kept. I cleared them but it didn't help
  • cleared favorites (firefox is no longer offers some websites, but still offers)
  • attached screenshot of settings
  • attached couple of examples 
L - live.com
LE - legacy.com
  • tried other letters 
Q - qvc.com
A - amazon.com
B - bing.com
C - craiglist.org

D - diply.com E - ebay.com and so on...

If I try two letters, same behaviour (as you see for "LE") AA - aa.com AB - about.com AC - accuweather.com

Even, with three letters: ABC - abcnews.go.com CAR - cars.com
