Title:
  request to restore old focus behaviour on address bar with
  browser.urlbar.default.behavior |= 32

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  when you're typing stuff into the address bar and it shows some
  suggestions/search results; you can't alt tab or use any other wm keys
  while that window is open, you have to hit escape to clear it first;
  this is a big problem because merely selecting the current url in the
  address bar opens that results window.

  steps to reproduce:
  1) open firefox
  2) type something in the address bar so that it shows the search dropdown
  3) try and use alt-tab without dismissing it

  expected outcome:
  switch to next window in cycle, or do any given wm action

  actual outcome:
  nothing works

  i've tried wm actions with compiz (alt-tab, cube faces, changing
  workspaces) and metacity wm actions (alt-tab) and they do not get
  through

  normally hitting escape wouldn't be too onerous, but merely selecting
  the address bar also opens the dropdown
