[Bug 336139] [NEW] "Find" displays the highlight of previous phrase

[Ajay]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The find functionality displays the highlight of the previous phrase
that was searched.

The steps to reproduce this issue are...
1. Open 2 different web pages on 2 tabs.
2. Search for a word (w1) on Tab1. (The searched word should exist on the page).
3. Select the option "Highlight All".
4. Go to Tab2.
5. Search for a word (w2) on Tab2. (The searched word should exist on the page).
6. Go to Tab1.
7. Search for a word (w3) on Tab1. (The searched word should NOT exist on the page). 
8. The highlight on Tab1 shows the word that was earlier searched on this tab i.e. w1.
-------------------
Expected Result: The highlighting on Tab1 should go away.
Actual Result: The highlighting on Tab1 is as per the earlier search word.
