> 1: as you’ve said, the quality of such completion depends on habits; if you’re just shifting to the browser, it doesn’t have the full details with which to do good completion.

i've used firefox ever since galeon bit the dust (or maybe since epiphany switched to webkit). it knows my habits. but it still suggests urls i don't want instead of just offering to switch to an open tab. (frankly, i want open tabs to match enthusiatically. i would rather switch to an open tab than open a new tab to the same site, which is redundant.)

I find it a mixed bag—if it showed all open tab matches first, it often wouldn’t show history items that I care about. But overall, yeah, I’d probably like it to be a bit more eager to show active tabs. Especially if it’s suggesting a URL I have open, as you say.

FYI, you can filter it to search only open tabs with %: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplet...
