Description
I'm using Vimium on Firefox since VimFx finally stopped working with the recent update that got pushed out, overall happy with it as a replacement but I noticed that when searching my bookmarks through the included omnibar/locationbar replacement the order of the items is fixed and does not change based on my frequently selected items. When I would search my bookmarks on the location bar the frequently selected items would quickly float to the top so that future selections would be faster, require less typing/scrolling to access. I think it would be nice if this feature would be replicated in your bar as well.
Well, assuming it's not already set up to do so and I'm just missing out because I'm on Firefox and not Chrome like this was originally meant for anyway. If that's the case then can disregard this I guess.

Research direction
Start by reproducing bookmark searches in the Vomnibar on Firefox and compare their ordering with the browser's location bar behavior described in the issue. Trace how recently or commonly accessed bookmark results are currently ordered; done means relevant frequently selected items consistently appear earlier without breaking normal search behavior.
