Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

For the past few weeks, builds of Firefox 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 have
exhibited a behavior where the autocomplete of the so-called awesome bar
will only work sporadically.

There are some times where the autocomplete will not work at all and
other times when it will appear for a few milliseconds after typing a
letter before disappearing.

I haven't been able to pin-point what causes this, but I have found that
restarting the browser resolves the issue until it occurs again.

This doesn't happen very often, but at least a few times each day.

Reproducible: Sometimes
==========
SRU:

This bug affects all users using compiz and Firefox.
Patch is taken from the compiz 0.8.8 branch from upstream cgit. Patch has also been port-forwarded to 0.9 branch and is available in latest Natty compiz package.

TestCase:

With current stock Ubuntu compiz packages:
1- When Firefox is open; allow screensaver to kick-in (or resume from suspend) and then start using Firefox
2- Notice Awesome bar does not auto-complete with suggestions(firefox 3.6) and bookmarks menu, context menu are completely unusable(Firefox 4).

Install compiz package from -proposed:
Awesome bar, Context menu, bookmarks menus all work normally

Regression potential:
None ( maybe users notice more awesomeness of Firefox 4?)
