Took http://forums.mozillazine.org out of the URL field, since it will only work
for one at a time.

Worksforme Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6)
Gecko/20041223 Firefox/1.0+, whether that means it's linux-only or you-only
remains to be seen.

Works for me. I may have missed an essential part of the recipe because I
have to press the '/' key to evince the FAYT widget - merely starting to
type does not work on any page.

Duping, but feel free to reopen, if you think this bug is different.
