Firefox URL autocomplete issues - doesn't remember some sites

I’d say basically it doesn’t remember a lot of the URLs it used to. A couple examples of URL autocomplete issues:

 

I used to start typing the first few letters of “weather.com”, which I visit pretty much daily, and it would auto fill “weather.com”. Now it auto fills every time with http://www.weatherbase.com/. I don’t know where that came from.  

 

I used to type the first few letters of “duckduckgo.com” and it would bring up “duckduckgo.com”. Now it brings up a magnifying glass below the url with “Search with duckduckgo”.  

 

There are other URLs it doesn't remember.

 

It does remember "amazon.com" for some reason.

 

Maybe I somehow deleted recent history and it's going way back to sites I visited a long time ago? I am thinking it might be best if I can start over, i.e. clear out any information it’s saved about where it thinks I want to go, and start remembering the sites I am entering now.

 

I have the latest version - 125.0.3 (64-bit).

 

PC Restart does not help.

 

Thank you.
