[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070123

I get

I don't know more about it;
SeaMonkey seems to run fine.

Does not affect Firefox.)

The "file" autocompletesearch is only available on Linux. I just didn't bother moving the autocompletesearch attribute into a platform overlay.

Well, I don't really see the point; also maybe someone will write an autocompletesearch that works on windows ;-)
