immediatelly after or while loading a page i type the name of the link i want to
open, and firefox correctly finds the link, the problem is that it won't let me
open the link when i press enter. nothing happens, it just exists the "find" method.
now, if you type the name of the link and after firefox found it you press the
backspace key and delete all the text you just typed and retype it again then
firefox will let me open the link by pressing enter.
i've seen this behaviour under Linux (fedora core 3, with gnome) and under
Windows xp sp2

nothing. firefox found the link and after a few seconds the find toolbar disappeared

Expected Results:
