Pretty sure this is due to setting level=parent on the panel but I haven't investigated.

This isn't related to fxsearch, and is not a regression (I haven't checked regression range)
Anyway, it's not a regression from bug 1264983 for sure.
But probably setting level=parent on downloads panel will fix this bug, just like it fixed bug 1264983

Whoops, you're right.  Somehow how I replaced "downloads panel" with "urlbar panel" in my mind when speed-reading this bug.  Thanks for the correction.

That isn't the right fix for this. The right fix is to not display the downloads panel at all. Possibly it could be made to appear when the user focuses the window again.
