(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10

I have the option checked to search the page when you just start typing. The search bar on the bottom of the screen automatically disappears after 5 seconds. BUT, if I perform a search, and then alt-tab or minimize to another application, when the box collapses 5 seconds later, it maximizes firefox back up to the screen! VERY ANNOYING. Been around since firefox 1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to options, advanced, check off "Search for text when I start typing"
2. Start typing on a webpage to bring up the quick search bar at the bottom
3. Minimize firefox
4. Go back to the paper you were working on, and get rudely interrupted 5 secs later


Expected Results:  
NOT maximized.
