+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #471512 +++ What I have noticed while verifying bug 471512, is that the content inside the location bar flickers or better flips between several values. This is visible in a different level on different operating systems. For me it's highly visible on OS X. It goes through following states: 1. We show the URL 2. We clear the URL and no focus in location bar: "Search Bookmarks and History" 3. We have entered Private Browsing mode: "about:privatebrowsing" 4. We focus the location bar: Empty Can we remove the steps 2 and 3 and display an empty location bar directly?
