User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

After the Manage Bookmarks window is opened and closed, the keyboard doesn't
work at all (up/down arrows, control-pgup/pgdn, control-L, alt-F, etc. have no
effect).  The keyboard can be fixed though if you click the firefox window. 
Opening other windows like the preferences dialog may have similar problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Note that keyboard is working fine
2. Press alt-b alt-a control-w to open and then close bookmark manager
3. Press any key at all, nothing will happen!

Actual Results:  
keyboard seems totally disabled, nothing I press does anything

Expected Results:  
keyboard should work normally, including up/down arrows, control-pgup/pgdn,
control-L, alt-F, and so on.

Sorry, under "steps to reproduce" that should read "alt-b alt-m control-w" to
open and close the manager

Works for me. Are you still seeing this in the latest builds?
