I think that works as intended. What makes you think these should be the actual results?

I added this bug according to comment 8 from bug 1379654.

It doesn't work like this right now and changing that is a much larger endeavor worthy of a meta-bug. I'll close this bug.

Johann, did you file that new bug?

(In reply to Anne (:annevk) from comment #4) > Johann, did you file that new bug? No. Do we even intend to change this? What are the benefits? Is there a team that wants to pick this up? If you feel like this is a pressing issue, feel free to move forward (maybe with a post to dev-platform?), but I don't think there's much I want to do about it.

I'm not aware of any plans, but I think it has some nice properties in that thinks you do "privately" don't affect your day-to-day browsing. Anyway, I just got a little confused with you closing this bug and suggesting a not-filed follow-up bug.
