because of toLowerCase(), emphasized text not always emphasized in url bar autocomplete results

in bug #394604, simon points out:

I don't know what the autocomplete implementation in the location bar uses in
practice. I tested it by visiting
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%B2%89%E2%B2%99%E2%B2%9F%E2%B2%A9 and entering
both Ⲉ and ⲉ in the location bar (U+2C88 and U+2C89). The site appears in
the autocomplete results for both, but the ⲉ in the results is only
underlined when using the same case as in the title.

the reason is:

when we attempt to find matches, we'll end up using our
likeCompare(), see
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/storage/src/mozStorageUnicodeFunctions.cpp

but when emphasizing, I use toLower() in JS, see
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/content/widgets/autocomplete.xml#1237.

This does not block the final release of Firefox 3.
