Firefox's URL autocompletion has totally broken for me for some reason. At first it was annoying, but now after a couple days I'm quite liking it? My web browsing is much more intentional now, and I'm not habitually opening the news and social media as often.

The most focused I've been was around the same time I was experimenting with running my workstation without x11 or any graphical UI at all. This is obviously a bit extreme and impractical, but perhaps I should experiment with stripping everything back once more.

Anyway, I'm now too scared to restart firefox, in case it starts working again.

I believe you can toggle this off deliberately, under “Search > Firefox Suggest” in the settings menu. I’ve had it off for a while and found the same focus benefits you’re describing
