Same behavior for Fenix, it seems to be something AS related. I've pinged the Rust components team on slack.

AS team reported:

it’s intentional that we suggest bookmarks as well—we give bookmarks a boost in the results because bookmarking is a user action, so we think they might want to visit the page again

We don't show (don't even receive) time stamp information about history suggestions so I think it's safe to show it given that they will show in the bookmarks anyway as there is no such thing as Private Mode Bookmarks.

@emstanley @bluemarvin We can push this if anybody feels that it shouldn't show up, the AS team was open to change this behavior based on what is the expected behavior is.
