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
