As someone who loves Multi-Account Containers, as long as this bug[1] isn't fixed, the address bar is severely handicapped for me [1]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479858

Looks too me like it was fixed a few hours before you posted, and will be coming to Firefox soon.

The bug status still says Open?

I use the shortcuts and address bar extensively - they made me a quick bookmarker and more often I gauge what I have indexed on a topic prior to do a websearch. With "+" you can have more than one tag to narrow down a list if it has multiple tags. While just using history+fuzzysearch works for a lot of people, I'm browsing too much to have a small list when using the history on often used terms - thus bookmarks and t…

The '+' tag search never really works for me in a satisfying way. I'd expect to be shown results that match only the tag I ask for, but frustratingly I always get bookmarks mixed in that match in the title and URLs.

is this due to "bestmatch" suggestions being shown first? I turned off alot (and made the results rather long) to get more out of it. These are modified values from the defaults:

    browser.urlbar.maxRichResults   22 
    browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.migrationVersion     2 
    browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.scenario  history 
    browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst         false 
    browser.urlbar.suggest.bestmatch              false 
    browser.urlbar.suggest.remotetab              false 
    browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites          false 
    browser.urlbar.suggest.weather              false 
    browser.urlbar.tabToSearch.onboard.interactionsLeft 0 
    browser.urlbar.tipShownCount.searchTip_onboard 4
    browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled         false 
    browser.urlbar.shortcuts.quickactions  true 
the code and sql that determines the behaviour for this is at

I get a lot out of this
