It means "This is prohibited" rather than "Clear this". A trash can would work better in my opinion.

These are some SVGs I put up for testing (mainly because of pixel-snapping concerns).
Attachment #8733574 - Attachment description: clear-rounded-corners.svg → clear-rounded-corners.svg - coordinates not pixel snapped
attachment 8733574 [details] and attachment 8733580 [details] basically produce the same result. The resulting icon is not blurry, but the lateral lines are a bit thinner.

I decided to go with this icon, for more consistency. The thin icon can be applied once all other icons will be changed to thinner icons.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: The clear icon was introduced in Firefox 47, and having 2 different clear icons across 2 subsequent releases feels confusing. Let's have 1 common icon across Firefox 47 and 48
