Comment (by mcs):

 It seems to me that when operating in private browsing mode, the search
 string should be cleared upon exit and it probably should not be shared
 with other applications at all.  On Mac OS, there is a "find clipboard"
 which is to share this info.; see the clipboardSearchString setter here
 for the code that (I believe) shares the search string with the system:

 central/source/toolkit/modules/Finder.jsm#120

 I am not 100% sure if other platforms support this concept or not, but it
 does not look like it.
