What happened?

When using the new tab search bar, the input field doesn't reset its value when it loses focus. This results in the last entered search query remaining in the input field even if the user navigates away from the search bar or clicks outside of it.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click the new tab button.
2. Enter a search query in the input field.
3. Click outside the search bar or press Esc.
4. Click again the new tab button.
5. Observe that the search query still appears in the input field.

Expected Behavior: The input field should reset to an empty state when it loses focus or when the user navigates away from it.

Actual Behavior: The input field retains the last entered value after losing focus or when navigating away.

This is a setting that is set by default to 45 seconds before clearing it. If you go to about:config and search for zen.urlbar.wait-to-clear, you can set it to whatever value you prefer.
