Allow having "Firefox Suggest" top of the suggestion list.

The Safari Address bar is so nice to use...

Firefox currently does not even fill the homepage address

I think this would be great. I'd really like this option.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that prefers FF suggest over search.

For example if I wanted to visit speedtest.net I'll have to tab+enter as opposed to enter.

If I wanted to search I'd use the appropriate @ hotkey. Please provide an option at least. For a UX perspective; there's users who just search for everything and there's also users who don't need to constantly search.

Yes, a hotkey that jumps to the first "suggest" option would be helpful.  I have like six or eight lines that commonly appear before "Firefox Suggest", and it's a chore to tab past them.

I feel the same way.

For example, in other browsers I just type "gma" + Enter to go straight to Gmail. But in Firefox, I have to use the arrow keys to find the page I want.

It’s not a huge time saver, but it would make things a bit easier.

Yes, please! I'm transferring from Chrome and this is a little bit annoying.

It makes the absolute sense for Firefox Suggestions to be on top because #1 it should only default to a "search" when all FF-Suggestions are unavailable, #2 usually searching isn't gonna be the user's goal - but to open up a tab from a site they always use.

Absolutely needed. Would make me switch back to Chrome otherwise.

I'm surprised this isn't the default, it should be already

Migrating away from Chrome and this has been my biggest gripe. It might not have been intended in Chrome but it always worked to start typing a link and would go where I intended, and if it didn't I could delete that suggestion and it would not appear again.

I don't need to Google a website to get there and I much prefer to type then click around.
