This is a minor bug. I've been able to workaround it two ways, neither of which is difficult.
To duplicate:
Open two instances of Firefox. Navigate instance 1 to any site where Firefox blocks a popup, and displays the notification in the line just under the tab title line. Navigate instance 2 to gmail.google.com. Select the login box. When you enter text from the keyboard, it will automatically revert to the 'Find:' box at the bottom of the screen, regardless of where you click on the page, or where your cursor is flashing.
Workarounds:
1. Close all instances, and restart Firefox. If you do it this way, you must close all instances or it will not work.
2. Switch to the instance displaying the pop-up notification, and click the red X to close the notification.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two instances of Firefox.
2. Navigate instance 1 to any site where Firefox blocks a popup, and displays the notification in the line just under the tab title line.
3. Navigate instance 2 to gmail.google.com.
4. Select the login box, and attempt to type in info.
Actual Results:
When you enter text from the keyboard after the steps above, it will automatically revert to the 'Find:' box at the bottom of the screen, regardless of where you click on the page, or where your cursor is flashing.
Expected Results:
It should enter keystrokes into any control that is selected, if possible; if not possible, THEN default to the 'Find:' box.
Mozilla crashed. You suck!!1
P.S. Thanks for your hard work, and thanks for making something stable, efficient, and a pleasure to use. This is the only issue I have ever had with Firefox that wasn't a result of bad web design unrelated to the application.

What do you mean by this? Did Mozilla crash on you?

Thanks for the pointer, and apologies for the duplicate report. What terms did you search to find the previous bug posts?
Re: Mozilla crashed. You suck!!1 - This was a (now apparent) lame attempt at humor; the bug submittal form lists that phrase as an example of an uninformative/unhelpful comment.
