This creates an annoyance when address completion takes information from the collected addresses. I would like TB to be more intelligent about the first email address to show. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: For example, if I send a subscription request to a mailing list, I will send it like this: To: list-request@listserver.com I get a reply to which I must respond in order to be added to the list so I reply to the same address. Now, whenever I want to send messages to the list I must send them to list@listserver.com Actual Results: When I type the start of the email address, the first one to show is always list-request@listserver.com. I can understand why it does that the first time, but I would like list@listserver.com to appear first after a while. Expected Results: TB should realise that I'm using list@listserver.com more often than list-request@listserver.com. It should then do the completion of list@ before that of list-request@
I couldn't find a duplicate, so marking as NEW. Similar bug for address bar is bug 182366.
