Comment (by anadahz):

 >I am not sure why that would be good as long as web content does not have
 access to the history (which is does not have AFAICT). So, I think this
 works for us right now.

 If we are sure that web content cannot retrieve history from the location
 bar (and recently closed tabs) then this should be closed.

 Preferably it will be good for Tor Browser users to be aware that all the
 text entered in the location bar (such as queries to search engines, URLs,
 mis-pasted text from their clipboard) remains until a new identity is
 requested or a browser quit.
