about:config should load with focus in the filter textbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open about:config
2. start typing


Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
Focus should be in the filter textbox so typing can begin without having to
click or tab into the textbox first.

Seems like a good usability idea.

Confirming.
This can be achieved by adding "document.getElementById("textbox").focus();" at
the end of onConfigLoad() in mozilla/xpfe/global/resources/content/config.js and
mozilla/toolkit/components/viewconfig/content/config.js.
