When Javascript code is such that a blur event is called on a form field
immediately after it gains focus, the javascript console spews out an error
message about some autocomplete stuff.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a form in the page with the following field in it -
<INPUT id=foo name=bar type=text size=2 value='' OnFocus="blur()"> 
2. After the page loads, click inside this field
3. Watch the Javascript console

Actual Results:  
The following error message is displayed in javascript console -

Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property
XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method:
[nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "JS frame :: <unknown filename> ::
onfocus :: line 0"  data: no]

The field blurring works as expected though.


Expected Results:  
The error reported in the javascript console is not expected.
