Comment (by kowenki):

 Clarification:
 When I start TorBrowser with browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled==True and
 set it to "False",
 the urlbar breaks. Once I restart the TorBrowser the urlbar works again as
 expected and the setting is correct (False).
 When I change the setting to True and to False back again, the urlbar is
 again broken.
 Until the next restart.

 The same behavior with Tor Browser 7.5.6 (64-bit Linux).

 The behavior does not occur with Tor Browser 6.0.3 (64-bit Linux).
 (I don't have an intermediate version tar because of the autoupdate and I
 can't find another version on the torproject pages.)

 The behavior does not occur with Vanilla Firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit Linux).

 I always used the TorBrowser's autoupdate, that adopts the configuration,
 therefore I don't know when this started.

 Since a restart fixes the problem, it is not that dramatic.
