Find Toolbar entry catch all inputs. It is unposible to enter string into google web page because Firefox Find toolbar catch the string. I realized that turning of Java script help, but changing all the time this option to enter the string is weak. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open many Firefox windows with sites with java scripts 2. Open next one blanck and call google.com 3. Try enter search string. In my case this search string goes to Find toolbar on the bottom Actual Results: It is stochastic, It is probabaly with some problems with Java scripts, as I said disabling java scripts helps

I am still getting this effect using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 Other open bug reports that reference the problem: 340817, 354444, 354720. The problem is that occasionally the "Quick Find" function becomes predatory and grabs focus every time a keystroke is entered in a form field. The Quick Find box can be closed (not visible) and it will still do this. This makes it impossible to fill in forms. Interestingly, it will not catch the backspace key - i.e., you can delete characters in a form field, but not enter new ones (as they will go into the QuickFind box. I cannot reproduce the problem, as it happens infrequently. Might be related to opening pdf files under Firefox? It seems to be a long-standing problem. My solution is to exit Firefox and restart, but this is quite irritating.
