[Bug 1660382] [NEW] Address bar does not search history

[Thom]

Public bug reported:

After latest firefox upgrade, it stopped searching history in
addressbar. E.g. starting to type 'bugs' should show bugs.launchpad.net
from history in the address bar, but it no longer does. It used to. Now
the search is 100% useless.
