[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

Gavin, Phillip, and I talked over email about this.  For 33, we want to land some simple changes to make the search suggestions popup on about:home/about:newtab more consistent with the main search bar's popup.  Longer term, we want to do bug 1054951 and its dependents.

Changes are:

* Remove the blue text color
* Remove the bold text
* Add a separator line between form history and search suggestions

All of that should be fairly simple by changing the CSS here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/searchSuggestionUI.css

There may be some JS involved to tell the CSS where to draw the separator line between the two types of results.  That would be here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/searchSuggestionUI.js

I don't think there's a way to draw the border without adding JS like this.

Using the existing .remote class, you could do this (although I have no idea its performance impact):

/* Add a separating border above remote entries.. */
.searchSuggestionRow.remote > td {
  border-top: 1px solid GrayText;
}

/* .. but only for the first one */
.searchSuggestionRow.remote ~ .remote > td {
  border-top: none;
}

Nice!  That's close but not quite what we want, since it draws the border even when there's no form history.  I tested this with form history only, remote results only, and both, and it looks good.  Screenshot is the same as the one I already posted.

Oh. Nice catch. And today I also learned about bug 854148, which would allow for .searchSuggestionRow:nth-child(1 of .remote), but that would still have incorrectly styled if .remote was the first child (although I guess :not(:first-child) and the + would fix that too.)

I verified this bug using the following environment:

FF 35
Build Id:20140921030208
OS: Win 7 x64, Ubuntu 12.10 x64, Mac Os X 10.9.5

and I found the following issue:
Only a max of 2 items are above the separator line between from history and search suggestions.
STR:

1. From about:home or about:newtab search for casey kasem, cash converters and castle
2. On about:home or about:newtab type cas 

Issue:
Only 2 items are displayed above the separator line. In the main search's bar popup all 3 entry are displayed above the line.
That's bug 1060846 basically.
Thanks Drew you are correct.
