Details
Different issue from bug 1464269. It used to be that typing "fa" would suggest "facebook.com" and I could just hit Enter to visit it. Now, the top suggestion is "fastmail.com". While I do interact with Fastmail a lot (more than Facebook), I very rarely type "fastmail.com" into the address bar (since I have it in a pinned tab) but I always visit Facebook by typing in its address. My feeling is that because I visit Facebook by typing its address very often, that it should be suggested above Fastmail.

this is also a matter of muscle memory, like if you would be used to type "fac" the problem would not be apparent.
I think bug 1466233 is the right thing to do here. Another possibility is changing how we calculate frecency for an origin.

Another thing we may do, is fixing "typed" to be really typed, and provide a separate bonus for "pickedFromUI", slightly smaller than typed.
