Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

Type something into the address bar so that it autocompletes. Then press the Right Arrow key to go to the end of the line.

Example: if you've visited github.com/mozilla before, typing 'gi' should autocomplete to 'github.com/'

Actual results:

The dropdown list of URLs closes.

Expected results:

It should stay open, and update to match the new URL. For example if I typed 'g' I might have had google.com and github.com listed in the dropdown. After pressing Right, I should now have everything under 'github.com/' in the dropdown, like 'github.com/mozilla' etc.

Having the dropdown stay open really helps with remembering exactly which URLs I've visited most often and aids autocomplete.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

Hi, we're working on some big improvements on the URL bar, and this is one of the things we've already fixed.

I can't yet say when it will be released, but it is definitely on its way.
