1434455 - Cmd-e copy selection to find clipboard is reset when the findbar is opened the first time in a tab

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

The Cmd-e keyboard shortcut on OSX is meant to be universally available to ensure that an active selection (text on a website or chrome input) is copied to the special OSX find clipboard.
Expected behavior is that this shortcut works when the findbar is not visible, not initialized or in whatever state it may be. I believe this is a regression, but I think that finding a regression range will take longer than finding a fix.

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.
