Details

In order to display richer search history on the search activity launch screen, we'll need to store information about where users end up. To start, we could store the URL that we launch when a user clicks on a search result. However, we'll need to do something with that URL to get richer data to display to the user.
This could be as simple as a relation between `history` and `searches`. Anything less-simple starts getting into visit chaining. That would knock a bunch of other bugs down, but might be too ambitious for now.

Eric, this could be a good "next step" feature. I think we should approach this by storing something in Fennec after the URL has fully resolved. It would actually be really nice if we could find a way to hook this into data we're already storing in BrowserProvider, so that we could get titles and favicons for history items in the search activity.

I'm demoting this from a P1, since redirects make this a non-trivial problem. Also, even if we store the URL the user ended up loading, it's not really that useful to show them a URL.
