In general I think we're displaying the autocomplete popup too soon, before the screen has been resized by the keyboard and we've scrolled to make the input field visible. Looking at the code in browser.js, it looks like _showAutoCompleteSuggestions is called from a click event handler, which probably gets triggered really early in the process. I think it would be better if we ran that code after we get the ScrollTo:FocusedInput event and scroll to make the input field visible.

This bug makes it impossible to use the autocomplete popup. I've filed another bug related to the virtual keyboard (bug 795464).
