1161112 - Inline autocomplete history is not deleted when clearing browser history

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[martin-mick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150420225811

Steps to reproduce:

Setup Firefox to clear history when firefox closes
Visit a few websites by typing the URL in the Awesomebar (e.g. example.com)
Close Firefox (Thereby deleting the browser history)
Open Firefox
Type beginning of one of the previously listed URLs (e.g. exa)


Actual results:

Inline autocomplete suggests the previously typed URL (e.g. example.com)


Expected results:

Nothing

Actually, I consider this a serious privacy issue, because the only reliable way to delete your browser history, is to either create a fresh profile or to tamper with the database

Also, disabling browser.urlbar.autoFill in about:config will not solve this problem. The entries are not visible anymore in the autocomplete, but they are still stored in the database.

Neither reproduced (without disabling autoFill) with firefox-37.0.2.en-US.linux64.

2015-07-15-03-02-07-mozilla-central-firefox-42.0a1.ru.linux-x86_64 is harder to test with because of search suggestions, but with suggestions disabled, there is no mention of example.com.

Tried to reproduce this issue in latest available nightly (- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0-) and couldn't reproduce the issue. 
@reporter Please reopen the issue if the problem still persists. Resolving the issue as works for me.
