Using Shift+delete to delete formhistory appears to work, but few seconds later
the form history reappears.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open www.google.com and do a couple of searches
2. View the google formhistory. You will see the formhistory of previous search
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 )

Actual Results:  
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 started happening with this build (installer build) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040915 Firefox/0.10
Shift+Delete sometimes even causes crashes here.
I've attached a zip file containing details.txt 
these are the details of the crash.
I'm still getting crashes when using Shift+delete in builds since 20040915.

this is also sometimes caught by the jsconsole.

sorry for spamming but can somebody confirm that Shift+Delete in formhistory
does not work anymore their firefox installations as well?
Confirming, on a fresh profile the entry does not go again, it remains, and on
my old profile Firefox crashed every time i use shift + delete. Using the installer.

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.
I confirm it crash when I try to delete an entry in the any textbox!
