(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jed Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Googlee search history can not be cleared. Using shift+delete on history items
will remove them for the current session, but after restarting firefox, all
history is back. Edit-->Prefernces-->Privacy-->History-->"Clear all" behaves the
same way. Everything except the search history is cleared after a "clear all"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Browser to "www.google.com"
2.type a letter to see drop down of History bigging with selected letter
3.delete entries with Shift+delete
4.restart browser to "www.google.com"
5. type same letter as before to see history has been restored.

Actual Results:  
Search History does not "stay deleted" after browser restart

Expected Results:  
deleted search history should stay deleted

This is probably due to a corrupt formhistory.dat
