In Bug 958825, the upstream Bugzilla has been updated to use HTML5 `autofocus` attribute instead of JavaScript `focus()`, so the issue is reproducible even with JavaScript disabled. My recommendation is completely removing the autofocus functionality on this page.

Basically autofocus should be avoided unless the page's major goal is search (e.g. Google homepage) or sign-in. This is the QuickSearch *help* page so it's not applicable.
