[Bug 209794] Re: Firefox-3 does not clear private data

[Mackenzie Morgan]

I'm setting this to Medium and Triaged for the following reasons:
- Medium because it has significant privacy implications
- Triaged because we know that the actual nature of the issue is that "Clear Private Data" does not also clear the private data from the "Rich Results" for the Awesome Bar

** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Wishlist => Medium
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- Firefox-3 does not clear private data
+ "Clear Private Data" does not clear private data from the Awesome Bar's Rich Results list

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
+ Steps to Reproduce:
+ 1. Navigate to a few websites
+ 2. Tools -> Clear Private Data
+ 3. Begin to type into the address bar the name of a site you visited before
  
- When selecting Tools-Clear private data- Clear private data now button -
- It does not clear wev site history or Smart Bookmarks.  Searching the
- web and there are others that have reported having the same error.
+ Expected results:
