FF displays a security warning when you never sent data through an unencrypted
connection to the net unless you check that you don't wnt to read this message
anymore.
If you search google through the search fiel, data is sent to the net but FF
doesn't display the warning.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new profile
2. search with toolbar field
3. surf to google.com and search there

Actual Results:  
no security warning


Expected Results:  
a security warning that data will be send over an unencrypted connection should
be displayed.

It is security related but i won't check the security box because i don't think
this is really exploitable.
