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

Spork is right, but still there is something odd that happens.
No new addresses are added when you browse with 0, and
the ones that show up when you go back to 12 are sites I
visited a long time ago. The whole thing is strange.

Firefox-3 does not clear private data
It's very true. The history is like a closed box. The old addresses
since my firefox2 can not be deleted and at the same time, no new
addresses are being added (whether with 0 or 12). Also when I click
tools-clear private data, I don't get that dialogue at all. This is
really irritating.

The about:config work around does NOT work. Try setting it to 0 then
back to 12 all your stuff is still there...

For what it's worth, I too think 'wishlist' is pretty low for an issue
like this.
Clearing (or not) the RichResults, or having to disable it in
about:config, is not a big issue for me, but it could be, and Clear
private data should do exactly what it says, not a close
approximation. (Especially
I also agree with Roger and Michael that not clearing the private data
in the RichResults is a violation of the Clear Private Data Option. If
this is not changed, RichResults should be disabled by default. I'm
afraid downloading and installing firefox 3 will be blocked until this
issue is
When you are presented with an option to clear private history, you
think that's what will happen. That's what used to happen. All this talk
about wishlist and rich results is just so much baloney. Users expect
their privacy to be protected and not to have to adjust some obscure
option in about:.

Definitely! Too often the ubuntu folks ignore seroius problems just because a
kludge or some other
workaround is available. I've stopped filing bugs and problems for this reason.

Firefox-3
Disappointingly, this issue remains with the final gold release
version of Firefox 3.
I agree with Michael Losonsky above, this may not be a bug in code, but
the refusal of the RichResults to obey the Clear Private Data
command presents a significant privacy issue (I find this very
surprising,
Assigned to mozilla-bugs team we will discuss this most likely tomorrow
but since its not a bug it will be a bit harder to get it into archive.
After releases all packages have to go through SRU pretty much means
only security fixes but we will talk about this.

Bugs,
From what I can tell it is not a real bug but a regression that's
part of a new feature RichResults. The browsing history does
not erase RichResults anymore. If you don't want RichResults
keep track of where you went, in Firefox you need to enter
about:config
and then scroll down to:
I noticed that this bug is not included in today's Hug Day list of
bugs, which is devoted to firefox. I think that for an LTS release
this must be fixed because for many users this is a privacy
or security issue. They expect their browsing history to be
erased, but in fact it is not erased.
