Firefox mobile address autocompletion
When I start typing something in the address bar Firefox autocompletion kicks in and starts suggesting sites which are not present in my browsing history, apparently it goes online for it. How can I disable this annoyance and make autocompletion work only against my actual browsing history? Firefox 50.1.0 for android.

It's not going online - Firefox ships with an inbuilt list of popular domains which is used to power the autocompletion in the absence of sufficient local history.

Anyway, is it possible to disable it?

Re: Firefox mobile address autocompletion
In about:config change 'browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled' to false.
Maybe that will do it.

It disables autocompletion completely - history and the list. As I said, I want autocompletion but I want it to work only for history, not the list.
