When you have two FireFox windows open (window A and window B) and you drag a tab from window A into the search box in window B and release the mouse the search is started on the original tab on window A (still in window A and searching for the URL that was in that tab at the time of dragging) while window B becomes unresponsive.  Any clicks and the focus goes straight to the search tab in window A.  Closing the tab on window A or switching the focus to another tab on window A breaks the unresponsiveness.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start FireFox.
2. Create a new Tab.
3. Open a new Window.
4. Drag the new tab from the original window to the search box of the new window.
5. Observe that the new window is unresponsive.
Actual Results:  
Observe that the new window is unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
Search should show up in the new window (where the search box was dropped on) and nothing should change on the original window.

My search was set to Wikipedia.
