User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 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.
I think you're seeing bug 339465, here, not? > Mozilla crashed. You suck!!1 What do you mean by this? Did Mozilla crash on you?

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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 339465 ***
