New unconfirmed bug at this point in the game... Punting to the future. Please comment if you object violently.

Timofei, do you know if this is a regression for you? Was it working before in an earlier beta?

Confirmed with Firefox 4.0 and trunk nightly 20110407030522
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110407 Firefox/4.2a1pre): nothing happens (do not confuse with the search field explicitly available by clicking an icon).

I hope it wasn't intended by bug 593904? ;)

For Cyrillic keyboard input, the keyсode and charCode always return 0 on keydown and keyup events.  It does return something for charCode on keypress event.  In our code, we use keydown listener to check the keycode so it doesn't trigger the search for some input methods.

(Fx7 was branched, removing open bugs from Fx7 meta bug, we won't create new meta bugs for upcoming Fx versions)

Panorama has been removed from Firefox 45, currently in Beta and scheduled for release on March 7th. As such, I'm closing all existing Panorama bugs.

If you are still using Panorama, you will see a deprecation message in Firefox 44, and when 45 is released your tab group data will be migrated to bookmarks, with a folder for each group. There are also a few addons offering similar functionality.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-removal for more info.

We're removing Panorama because it has extremely low usage (about 0.01% of users), and has a large number of bugs and usability issues. The cost of fixing all those issues is far too high to justify, and so we'll instead be focusing our time and energy on improving other parts of Firefox.
