I first thought this was a bug in Find as you type, but it turns out to be more
general.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open our intranet homepage, which has an "onLoad" event which gives focus to
a text input.
2. In another tab, open some other page that doesn't have a form.
3-a. Start typing "foobar".
3-b. Hit ctrl-f, then start typing some text that should be found on the page.

Actual Results:  
3-a. The text "foobar" appears in the search input on the previous tab.

3-b. The first character or two of your find text shows up in the FAYT bar, then
the rest of the characters show up in the input on the previous tab.

Expected Results:  
3-a. Nothing

3-b. Text entered should show up in FAYT bar.

Installed extensions: DOM Inspector, Download Manager Tweak, Web Developer, View
Cookies, FlashBlock.
One of the many reasons you should update to 1.0
