Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1606406

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[janghou]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce:

Tried out this example:
https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/proxy-blocker

Open preferences/options of add-on

Actual results:

When "Search for text when you start typing" is enabled in settings, can't enter anything in the preferences textarea or input text fields, because search is taking over.

Expected results:

Search should not be triggered by entering something in textarea or input field in preferences of extension.

Introduced in Firefox 71 Linux

This seems duplication of Bug 1606406. And it has already been fixed by Bug 1525175 in 72.

janghou,
Can you please re-test this with Firefox 72.0?

I concur with Alice - reporter, if you could check if your issue is resolved in 72 (current release) that would be helpful. Thank you!

AFAIK 72.0 has never been available in Ubuntu 19.10.
Just received 72.0.1 today as an update, and the issue is fixed.

Thx all.
