Sorry if this is the wrong component to report the bug...

It's simple: the latest nightly of Firefox 3.7 (as of June 2nd 2010) has the new add-ons manager. I'm reporting that, if you have accessibility option "find as you type" enabled, the "Search all add-ons" bar doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the add-ons manager
2. Enable "Find as you type" in Tools > Options > Advanced > General
3. Try using the search field in the add-ons manager.
Actual Results:  
It searches as you type.

Expected Results:  
It should search as when you don't have "find as you type" enabled.

Sorry about that Matti.

Bugzilla really needs some kind of measures to improve searching... I didn't search for FAYT so I could never find the correct bug :(

No problem !

The searching is fine, you only need the right search terms :-)

Moving as 569342 is about making FAYT work

No that bug is about stopping it from popping up when pressing "/" in the search box.
