1803681 - When a user deletes the search term and goes to another tab, returning to the tab should show the search term again

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P3)

Description

[James Teow [:jteow]]

STR:

1. Make a search with showSearchTerms on.
2. Delete the search term.
3. Go to another tab.
4. Go back to the tab that had its search terms removed.

Current result:
The url of the page will show in the urlbar.

Expected result (maybe?):
The search term should show instead.

This is not a regression per say as this is consistent with how the urlbar works if the url bar is blank but it's potentially weird that this behaviour happens as it's not obvious to a user how to get the search term again (they'll have to revert the urlbar).

There's a r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:jteow, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

The issue is verified fixed using Fx 110.0b1 and latest Fx 111.0a1 on Windows 10 an Ubuntu. The search term is correctly displayed when reverting back to the tab.
