User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130104151925

Steps to reproduce:

Tried searching for things (varies).


Actual results:

Search results do not load occasionally upon first try (site loads, not the search results).


Expected results:

Search results should have appeared/started appearing if there's an auto-complete  that is similar to what you're searching for.
Without to reproduce is very difficult to identify the issue.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode and see if this happens again?

Could you please try the suggestions from comment 1, and see if you can still reproduce this problem?

Also, it would be very useful if you could give us more details (what words do you search for?, perhaps a screenshot with the problem), so that we can reproduce the issue.

I can't reproduce this on the latest Nightly (Build ID: 20130123052720).

Like I said before the words I don't believe are the triggers that cause the problem. It happens sporadically so it's very difficult to describe. I will try and take screenshots if and when it happens again.

Please reopen the bug if you can still reproduce the issue.
