queries.
3. Press anywhere else on the screen.
4. wait a few seconds and press on the google search box( still in www.google.com )

The formhistory reappears

Expected Results:  
The form history that I used shift+delete to remove should stay deleted.

Here is something else.

1. Give focus with mouse on form box in google.com
2. Delete formhistory using Shift+delete
3. Remove focus from form box. (click somewhere else)
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Give focus to From box and see that formhistory was not really deleted.

this is also sometimes caught by the jsconsole.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIAutoCompleteController.handleDelete]" 
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::

I can confirm this crash as well.  I dont know of this is related but
*sometimes* it takes several tries to delete an entry in the UrlBar drop down
list.  I cant consistently duplicate this.  I can consistently duplicate the
crash however.
