Build ID: 20170427030231

[Affected versions]:
- Nightly 55.0a1

[Affected platforms]:
- All

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox
2. In the Awesome bar type Mozilla and press enter
3. Open a new tab
4. Press the Up key

[Expected result]:
- Step 4: The autocomplete drop-down is opened showing the last accessed websites. The one-off bar should be empty since there is nothing written in the location bar (Search with:)

[Actual result]:
- Step 4: "Search for Mozilla with:" is displayed in the one-offs bar, even if the location bar is empty.
Please see the screencast for more details.


[Additional notes]:
- This issue is reproducible also in Firefox 51 when the preference browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches is set to true.

This is a polish item, but not a critical blocker. I think Drew fixed one or two similar bugs recently, so I'm a bit surprised this was not caught by existing tests.

Same as bug 1325819, this doesn't seem to be relevant any longer.

Not sure what has changed, but this became relevant again.
