Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

Using "find as you type" as a fast way of keyboard navigation, Firefox is unable to focus the form button (but seems to have found the text, though) if the button is a <button>, and unable to find the text at all if the button is <input>.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create a html page with content <button>one</button><input type="submit" value="two"> and open in Firefox

a)
1. press ctrl-F
2. start typing 'one'

b)
1. press ctrl-F
2. start typing 'two'

Actual Results:  
a) text is allowed to be entered, yet no (visual) feedback is seen
b) text is not found

Expected Results:  
a) focus the button with the text
b) focus the button with the text
