If you open a new FireFox window using the desktop icon, WHILE another FireFox
window is already open, and go to http://www.googl.com, and start typing in the
search box, the Find toolbar becomes visible and the text input goes to the find
box instead of the search box.

This behaviour not seen if the new window is created using FireFox's File->New
Window or CTRL-N menu.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Close all FireFox windows
2.Launch FireFox and go to a site of your choice
3.Lauch a new FireFox using the desktop icon.
4.In the new window, go to http://www.google.com
5.Click on the search text box and start typing


Actual Results:  
Find toolbar becomes visible and text input shows up in the toolbar's Find box.

Expected Results:  
Text should have shown up in the search box, regardless of whether the find
toolbar is open or not

Even if you close the Find toolbar, as soon as you start typing in the search
box, the find toolbar becomes visible again and text goes to the find text box.

Does not happen if the new window is launched using CTRL-N or File->New Window menu.
