Hi,

Until yesterday, Firefox used to display a list of my bookmarks and previously visited websites as soon as I clicked on the address bar. Now it doesn't. I have to click the address bar and then type at least 1 character to see the list.

This is very inconvenient when you only have your mouse. Old posts recommending setting "browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus" to "true" but Firefox doesn't list it in "about:config". There are other unrelated settings.

Is "browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus" removed?

Settings > Search > Address Bar > Check "Shortcuts" solved it. No idea why it stopped working suddenly. I still belive the list should open even if you have unchecked "Shortcuts" because browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs are still checked.
