When using menu:Tools->Switch Profile... to switch to another profile, the
search sidebar remembers the last search from the provious profile.

Reproducible: Always

It's privacy/security issue as unwanted information is passed between two profiles

Steps to reproduce
0) display the sidebar
1) do a google-search
2) use "menu:Tools->Switch Profile..." to switch to another profile
3) notice that the search results from the former profile are displayed in the
sidebar

Expected Results:
A blank search sidebar
