Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 498367

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Brad]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

If you drag a tab into the search bar, the URL of the tab will be inserted into the search bar text box, but the font will remain gray (the same as the default "Google" text that remains in the box when its "empty"). Then after clicking search, a blank query is searched.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clear the search bar so it says "Google", or "Amazon.com", etc in a gray font.
2.Drag a tab into the search bar. 
3.The search bar will then contain the text of the URL of the tab you just dragged in, but remains in a gray font. If you then click the search bar, all text will be cleared.
Actual Results:  
Text is gray (same as a "blank" box), so clicking search will result in a "blank" search, or clicking the text box will clear the text.

Expected Results:  
The action should be the same as dragging in any other text into the search bar. Dragging text from a webpage or notepad will properly paste the text into the search bar.

Using a default theme, Happens on the on all search types "Google", "Amazon", "Yahoo", etc.
