    Hello,

    I wasn't sure if this is a bug so I'm posting here first. I'm using
    Firefox 0.99+1.0RC1-3 right now on my Debian Sid box. When I go to
    gmail.google.com, Firefox automatically puts in my username. And because
    the username is there, the focus is moved to the password field (gmail's
    javascript) automatically.

    (With the preference "Begin Finding when you being typing" set) when I
    start typing my password, the "Find as you Type"(FAYT) extension kicks
    in and opens at the bottom of the window and shows me the password I'm
    typing as if it was the string for which I'm searching. And if I press
    backspace key, it erases the letters first from the text area of the
    FAYT extension, and then it erases letters from the password field,
    one-by-one. This only happens when the preference "Begin Finding when
    you being typing" is set.

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Thanks,
    /KS
