While writing "search keyword" in the Search box on the Firefox version
3.6.1, the text written is automatically gets selected.

Hence, as the user tries to write further, the older text written gets
lost.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start the Mozilla Firefox
2.Try writing into the google search box some keywords.

Actual Results:  
The text gets selected writing automatically. hence, if continued writing the older text is lost.

Expected Results:  
The text should not be selected automatically

Note: I have this problem without ANY extensions other than the default Ubuntu installed ones.
I have noticed something about this bug. When this happens the usual Google search terms that normally appear do not, and it is only when changing tabs or closing firefox and restarting it that it fixes itself, but when it does, the search terms appear again, so this may have something to do with that?

This bug affects all operating systems.  I have seen it on numerous
versions of Ubuntu (9.04, 9.10, 10.04) as well as Windows Vista/7.
Other users have also reported seeing it on Mac OS X on launchpad in
this bug (of which 641300 mentioned above is a duplicate):

I have not discovered a specific way to reproduce it - it occurs very
intermittently but when it does happen it is extremely annoying.  27
other people have also reported suffering from this defect (not
including additional people who may have reported duplicate issues) on
Launchpad.
