Description

[Hanspeter Roth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

An earlear version that had a search dialog rather than a search toolbar put the
focus on a hyperlink after the dialogbox had been closed.
This allowd very quick navigation through linked pages.
One could enter Ctl-F, <initial string of hyperlink>, Esc, Enter. 
If one is used to the initial string of the next hyperlink this was a quick way
of navigating through linked pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
2.press Ctl-f, other sys, Esc
3.The initial string "Other Sys" of the respective hyperlink is hilighted but
focus is someware else. The focus should be on the hyperlink allowing to press
Enter and proceed to the linked page.

Actual Results:  
Focus is not set on hyperlink "Other Systems and Languages".

Expected Results:  
Focus must be set on hyperlink "Other Systems and Languages".

I can confirm this. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050507 Firefox/1.0+

Probably on every OS?

are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
