A testcase:

(1) open a page, say http://www.guardian.co.uk/

(2) control-f, the search box appears at the bottom left, you are looking for the word "money"

(3) apply the daily (usually) update with [help] -> [about nightly]
of course an update must be available.

(4) result: the search box is not there anymore.

Note: not a big deal, but the update should everything as is.

Thanks for the steps, I can now see this bug. Note that it also does not restore from a regular restart of the browser. I'm guessing this is behaviour as designed. Moving to Session Restore component and I'll let the developer comment as to the validity.
