I guess they must have changed the tuning of the places algorithm
then. You can work around the problem by disabling places entirely.

To do so, edit /usr/pkg/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/firefox.js,
change the following setting to false:

// Whether history is enabled or not.
pref("places.history.enabled", true);

Kind regards,
