Thunderbird style search in Firefox

[Sam Halliday <fommil@yahoo.ie>]

for anyone who has thunderbird installed, they will notice that when you 
search for an item in the search bar, a little button appears which allows you 
to clear the field... is there an extension to firefox which enables the same 
feature in its search bar? as it is very irritating having to manually clear 
the search bar every time.

cheers,
Sam
