User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 GTBDFff GTB7.0 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

The address book provides entries for "Email" and "Additional email". Auto complete should default to the "Email" entry. It seems that if the "Additional email" entry comes alphanumerically first, it is selected as the default. I had to move the Additional email entry to Notes before it wasn't selected first. If it was in "Custom" it was still found and selected first.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an address book entry with an entry under "Email:" and another under Additional email:" Both entries should begin with the same sub-string. For example, if the "Email:" entry is "[e-mail]" the "Additional email:" entry should be "[e-mail]".
2.Begin a new email message, and in the To: line type "Abcde" and see which address is filled in by the auto complete. 
3.
Actual Results:  
On my system, it always chooses the Additional email: entry. 

Expected Results:  
It should default to the "Email:" entry as the first choice, regardless of their alphanumerical order or which address was last selected.
