On Firefox for Android, when typing a URL, firefox autocompletes with the wrong URL. Example, when I type the letter "e" it will always suggest ebay.com. I don't want to go to ebay.com, I never want to go to ebay.com. How can I disable this "feature"?

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu select Settings and Search, you should be able to turn off "Autocomplete urls" and "Show search suggestions" which should help with this.

I still want it to autocomplete URLs, just not with sites I never visit.

At the present time you will need to turn off autocomplete totally for you to not see those websites.
