Form and search history not being deleted #16

I am receiving search suggestions from my deleted history. I cannot find these web sites in my history.

This is an interesting one. I experience this too, occasionally. Firefox seems to keep search history and suggestions somewhere separately from the browsing history. I believe you can clear this using the Clear Recent History menu in the browser (it should be called Form and Search History, as the issue title states), but I don't know if there's a way to automatically clear old form and search history from an extension.

It's probably browsingData.removeFormData(), but the browsing data API only lets you clear recent data or all data.
