296840 - FastFind fails to follow hyplerink once in focus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 296720

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, enhancement)

Description

[Bryan Baker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Once I've done a FasFind search on a page which goes to a hyperlink, if I click
return Firefox does not follow that link and instead goes to the next occurance
of the search term.

This behaviour is counter to what I would expect in that return should follow
the highlighted hyperlink (CTR-g is what I would use to repeat my fastfind to go
to the next occurance).

I can mimic this functionality if in the Options->advanced settings I turn on
the accessibility feature such that the carrot retains focus on the page in
question. However, I do not wish to have the annoyance that comes along with
this accessibility feature (floating carrot).

Also note that I have fastfind search the entire web page instead of just
hyperlinks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.CTR-f
2.Search for word on page
3.Once a hyperlink is highlighted hit return and fastfind goes to next occurance
of string

Actual Results:  
goes to next occurance of string

Expected Results:  
follows hyperlink
