1187634 - Various find as you type bustage from bug 1133981

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[[e-mail]]

Bug 1133981 caused several issues:
* Toggling the autostart preference no longer works
* The findbar does not work in the browser
* The findbar always steals type ahead find in view source

Attachment: Proposed patch

* Fix autostart issue by a) using new variable name in constructor and pref observer b) updating the browser in the pref observer (the parent constructor already updates the browser)
* Rename the usefindbar variable because it's far too long
* Remove obsolete code from destroy method
* Remove obsolete _shouldFastFind method
* Fix browser issue by copying receiveMessage method and removing browser test (since SeaMonkey has one find bar for the entire tabbrowser)
* Fix view source issue by making the receiveMessage method also check that we're using the find bar before passing on the keypress

Note that the browser fix makes it steal type ahead find in the same way as the view source issue but the fix for that fixes the browser again too.

Proposed patch

Start SeaMonkey go to some page type "/" findbar opens.

Open more tabs. type "/" FAYT message shows up in the status bar for all tabs except the first one.

Attachment: Updated for review comments

* Switched to using the window message manager in the tabbrowser so that the findbar receives messages from all tabs
* Provided an override of the _updateBrowserWithState function which uses the window message manager (the function name is different)

Whoa, I hadn't realised it was uplift time already.
In that case, yeah, I need c-b and c-r.
