User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When using fast find and typing the text used in a label, focus should be given
to the label / input-field like it is given to links. This applies to
input-fields where this syntax is used:
<label for="myradiobutton">labeltext</label><input id="myradiobutton" type="radio">

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the mentioned url
2.enable fast find
3.type "personligt"

Actual Results:  
the text was marked

Expected Results:  
focus should also be given to the input field / label

If the textbox is focused, further fastfind is not possible. Very inconvenient.

Please reopen if I missed anything.

It would be convenient to give focus to radiobuttons, checkboxes, and
pushbuttons including <input type="button"> and <button>text</button> based on
labels or the text on the button. Fast-find should never give focus to
text-inputs like input-fields, select-boxes and textareas since this would
impede further fast-find.

oops. sorry, I misread your report, thought it was for text box inputs, not
<input>s in general. Anyways, part of your bug is covered in bug 158757, this
will be about radio/checkboxes. Setting helpwanted as it's very similar to bug
158757.
