888490 - Search field clears when changing tabs

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Mike Habicher [:mikeh] (high bugzilla latency)]

STR:
1. open two tabs
2. in first tab, use the Search box to search (e.g. Google) for something
3. switch to the second tab
4. switch back to the first tab

Expected results: I'm pretty sure that in Firefox 21.x the contents of the Search box persisted across tabs; at the _very_ least, the contents persisted for a single tab.

Observed results: after step (3) above, the Search box is cleared; after step (4) above it stays cleared.

So it looks like the problem is one of my add-ons. Restarting in safe-mode makes the problem go away.

When I have time, I'll try to figure out which one.
