Title:
  Form field focus should not be set if user has begun entering text.

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After loading a page containing a form, Firefox automatically focuses the 
first
  input field in the tab order.  It should not do this if the user has already
  begun entering data into the form.  Not only is the current behavior annoying,
  but it is a potential security issue.  I have often typed passwords into
  plaintext fields because Firefox changed the field focus after a slow page 
load.

  If the event handling isn't too messy, it should also not change the input 
focus
  if the user is typing something in the address bar or search bar.
