It seems like we're running into Bug 354358. 

 u.bind(($.browser.opera ? 'keypress' : 'keydown') + '.autocomplete', function (a) {
      s = 1;
      k = a.keyCode;
      switch (a.keyCode) {

The jquery.autocomplete.js script they're using only listens for keypress or keydown and Firefox for Android doesn't fire those--but fires "input" instead. I'm not sure which jquery plugin they're using--I searched for a few, but didn't seem to find it. Ideally we could report this issue to the plugin author.

Suggested fix would be to listen for the "input" event in addition to/rather than just keydown/keypress.
