>> From my history I guess

> I don't think it's from your history. It seems like many common websites are preset to autocomplete; stackoverflow.com for example. Because it doesn't save history this seems like a nice way to reduce friction for users. I could be wrong though.

In my experience, your statement is correct. Firefox Focus does not store history. It does have a long list of sites that it autocompletes. Whenever I visit HN, I actually type news.ycombinator.com into the address bar since Focus does not have bookmarking. But I don't mind that, and consider that as a feature.



Well maybe my memory tricks me. But it was a very specific URL so I don't know. I was giving it a try to specifically test that.

I've just tested it again and indeed it haven't occurred again.

A good thing so :)


No in-app bookmarks, but you can use "add to home screen" to get a shortcut.


Is that on android and/or ios?


Definitely yes on Android. I don't know for iOS.


Maybe that's a feature of your launcher? I can't see it in any of firefox focus' menus, the share list or long-press on a link options.


Weird! It's on the only menu in Focus for me, the same level as "settings." I wouldn't have thought a launcher could do that. I use Nova Launcher.
