When you have a site with a form loading in the background (ie a not active tab)
and you are typing in another tab (active tab) upon the completion of the
rendering of the background tab the focus goes to that page.  however this only
works if the form is selected by default (the search form on your site is NOT a
good example, as it is not set by default).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. You make some lag on your connection (otherwise page loading would be too fast)
2. You open www.google.com in your primary tab
3. You open another tab, again with www.google.com
4. While loading you type some stuff in the FIRST tab's editbox

Actual Results:  
Once the second tab has finished rendering the rest of the text you are entering
goes into the editbox on the second tab, see by activating the second tab

Expected Results:  
FireFix should of left the focus on the first tab's editbox, as a user will not
know if the form being left is of type="password", they will get confused.
