748347 - search engine text keeps after searching

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 253331

(Firefox :: Untriaged, enhancement)

Description

[Sergio]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

made a search using Firefox search engine field


Actual results:

after the search, texts keeps there, this sometimes is BAD for privacy.


Expected results:

When opening the results page, the text on search engine should be cleaned, emptied, removed, whatever. Once I was making a printscreen for work pourposes and there was a text in search engine that would be badly funny if i sent the printscreen to someone. Fortunatelly I noticed, cleared the textfield and made another printscreen. That would not happen if Firefox automatically cleared that text after using the search engine. Why to keep the text there ? One suggestion was to add a checkbox with the option (saved in preference.js) about "Clear search engine text automatically after searching)

I have developed an extension as a workaround to this problem.
