Are you sure about that? The star over each icon indicates that both of them are bookmarked.
So either this is a bug or there is a second bookmark hiding somewhere. If you go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks and search for "qb", what appears there?
so there was no other bookmark for this, but it made me think again what could have gone wrong... so i visited this wrong url -> did not connect of course, i put it in bookmarks and it autofilled the quick term (don't know the english word for that) i undid that, saved the bookmark et voilà! thank you for the inspiration
To delete old suggestions based on previously visited urls you should be able to press the down arrow to select it and then shift + backspace to delete its memory of that suggestion. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times if multiple similar urls that don't exist anymore are still being suggested.
This is assuming the incorrect one isn't also bookmarked or being suggested for some other reason besides being visited in the past.
Try pressing down to select it and then shift + backspace to delete the memory of it. I have to do this a lot to clean up old self hosted urls that it keeps suggesting.
In Firefox? Delete doesn't do anything for me on v137, I think because even when you press arrow down you are still typing in the address bar so it deletes characters instead of deleting the entry

Same but I just press delete instead of shift + backspace

I am using Linux, not sure if that makes any differrence.
the official method seems to be shift + delete

Ah, hmm might just be a packaging difference, I just use the arch and Manjaro packages

Just tested it again. Shift+Delete works but Delete alone not. Perhaps it was changed since last time
