if you have "begin finding when you begin typing", then for some input boxen
in web forms, as you begin typing your input, the find dialog will appear, and
steal focus. You will then have to click inside the input box after every
character, in order to be able to type the next. I believe I've only seen this in
password entries. Sometimes, restarting the browser helps. Right now I can
reproduce that on https://mail.yahoo.com (note https protocol). I have password
remembered for that page FWIW.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. choose accessibility/ "begin finding when you begin typing"
2, go to https://mail.yahoo.com ( note https)
3. try typing in the password field

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
kept the focus in the input box - I don't need to search the page for my password.

it seems "begin finding as you start typing" needs to be on when the browser starts.
