URL Autofill needs fixed

When the browser tries to Autofill a URL it often goes to some popular website I never use or care about. This is a deal breaker and will have to switch to a new browser if this isn't fixed and I can't find anything in my settings to correct it. How do I fix this?

Hi Hannah

I might be able to help with this.

  1. Open the Firefox for Android menu, and select Settings
  2. Select Search and scroll to the bottom of the list
  3. De-select Autocomplete URLs

I hope that this helps.

The issue isn't the URLs are autocompleting, the issue is they aren't autocompleting correctly. I don't want it to jump to a random website that I'm not looking for.
