Bug Description
Keywords in bookmarks have a lower priority than URL matches. For example, suppose I have a keyword named "google", and I have recently visited www.google.com. If I type "google" into the location bar, it will match "www.google.com" and go to that URL. It should have instead activated the bookmark matching that keyword.
To reproduce this bug:
1) Make a bookmark to www.yahoo.com and give it a keyword of "google".
2) Visit www.google.com so it will be in the cache.
3) Open a new tab.
4) In the new tab's location bar, type "google" and press enter.
Expected result: You go to www.yahoo.com.
Actual result: You go to www.google.com.
Workaround: After typing a keyword, press "delete" before pressing enter.
I just updated Firefox to version 35.0.1 "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0" and the problem was not present previously (in version 34.0). From apt's term.log:
