Firefox 146.0.1

In Settings>Search>Firefox Suggest, I have enabled:

"Suggestions from Firefox"

But, when I type in the search box, no suggestions appear. For
instance, if I type "olymp", I expect many suggestions for the olympics
(or something similar), but nothing pops up. If I type in the enire
word "olympics", still nothing.

Any ideas.

See this image to see if you have checked the two boxes:

Suggestions from Microsoft is for selling you stuff. It is not for suggesting search items!

I gave up for a while trying to get suggestions to pop up in the Search
box. I decided to try again today.

I enabled "Show suggestions in Private Windows", and it worked.

Enabling only both "Show search suggestions" and "Show recent searches",
didn't work. Go figure.

You have to think how a browser implements this "feature". Everything
the user enters in the address bar is passed on to the search engine of
your choice, character for character.
The only search suggestions I permit are those from my history:
Settings -> Search -> "Show recent searches", the "Show search
suggestions" box is clear.
