On both on my Macs, the latest version of Firefox -- 3.0.10 -- stops recognizing keystrokes on the iGoogle homepage. I have a new 24" iMac and a last-generation 13" white MacBook, both with the latest version of OS X. The only addons I have are the Google web toolbar and the Firefox extension that brings up your homepage whenever you add a new tab. This bug is extremely reproducible and happens at periodic intervals with no apparent cause, just a random amount of time passes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox does not recognize keystrokes.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should recognize keystrokes.

See above.
