How come that compiz knows/cares about searches in firefox? - Ask Ubuntu

while looking @ output of journalctl -f noticed apparently compiz notified (and logs) every search make in entry bar (or search bar) in firefox (but not in chromium).

typing entry bar

results in following lines in log

it not matter search provider have selected. know settings cause behavior of compiz , how prevent this.

_{in opinion none of compiz's business type search bar in webbrowser.}

i know possible circumvent entering search expressions directly search field of search provider that's not after.
