How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions (willj.net)

tldr; Firefox changed the order in which suggestions appear when you start typing in the address bar. It used to show previously visited websites first. Now it prioritizes its own suggestions.

To get back to the old behaviour, navigate to about:config, search for the key browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst and change the value to false.

You don't need to head to about:config for this, it's right there in the settings GUI.
