I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of 261052.

When viewing the Wikipedia page above (and some other pages, too), if I type a /
to begin finding in the page, then a capital B, the page reloads (reliably) and
`Load images' is turned off under Preferences (sometimes).  This does not occur
on other searches.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Load http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_hall_problem.
2.  Type / to begin finding in the page.
3.  Type a capital B.

Actual Results:  
The page reloaded, with no images.

Expected Results:  
The letter `B' (which does appear on the page) should have been found.

A friend who also runs Firefox on the Mac does not experience this problem.  I
am using the G5-optimised Firefox release available at
http://www.beatnikpad.com/archives/2005/09/22/optimized-firefox107 and he is
using the binary grabbed directly from firefox.org.
