Hi,
I have been having this issue for a while.
The search suggestions in the address bar are missing.
I mean that the entire drop-down box never shows up.
There are no search engine suggestions. There are no history based or bookmarks based suggestions.
The search suggestions is ticked in the settings. And I also disabled hardware acceleration.
Steps I took to troubleshoot:
1. Refreshed Firefox through troubleshoot mode.
2. Restarted firefox in add-ons disabled mode.
3. Tried creating new profile.
4. Tried using Firefox nightly and Dev builds.
5. Got fed up. Switched to Floorp.
6. I also tried a bunch of about:config modifications, that were suggested in earlier such support posts. None to any avail.
7. Tried it on an entirely different windows. And again, the minute I log in, the search suggestions are gone.
This is when I realized, the issue was popping up whenever I log in using my mozilla account. I tried any firefox alternative without logging in and the search suggestions work. The minute I log in with firefox account/mozilla account. The search suggestions stop.
This has to be something due to sync is what I guessed. And I stopped sync. And reinstalled.
Then the issue resolved. But the minute I log in it reverts back. And no search suggestions.
The search suggestions do not work on any windows based system. I checked my android device and suggestions are working. Sadly, I do not have access to any other platform.
So at this point I was very much frustrated.
So someone please help me out. I will give whatever logs you need. But fix this. I need search suggestions. At least bookmarks and history. I believe it to be a core part of the experience.
Not even recently searched are in suggestions. That drop-down box itself is missing.
