(Toolkit :: Data Sanitization, defect)

Description

[Petruta Horea [:phorea], Desktop QA]

Reproducible on:
- latest Nightly 32.0a1 20140429030201
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 
- latest Aurora 31.0a2 20140428004000
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0
- Firefox 30 beta 1 20140428174145
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox and subscribe to RSS feed websites (eg https://blog.mozilla.org/feed/ https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/feed/)
2. Open the Bookmarks sidebar and click on an entry from a random live bookmark - The live bookmark entry is opened in the current tab.
3. Repeat the previous step from the bookmarks toolbar and open an entry in a new tab - The live bookmark entry is opened in another tab.
4. Open the Library and make sure that the URLs of the previously opened live bookmark entries appear in the "Today" section.
5. From the sidebar and from the bookmarks toolbar, right-click on one of the live bookmark entries previously opened and choose "Forget About This Site".
6. Return to the Library and check the "Today" section from History again.

Expected result:
The live bookmark entries have been removed from history.

Actual result:
The entries are still displayed in the Library, nothing happens when selecting "Forgot about this site" for a live bookmark

Notes:
1. The issue reproduces back to Firefox 16 so it's not a regression
2. It is also reproducible on Win 7 64-bit, Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit and Mac OSX 10.8.5
