Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

While this affects only one (known to me) site, a regular web page being
able to intercept keypresses intended for the search box seems wrong and
possibly insecure.

Steps to reproduce:

1) go to

http://lingvo.yandex.ru/entbehren/%D1%81%20%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE/

(this is the only place I know where the bug manifests itself)

2) enter anything in search box and then press enter.

Expected behavior: your selected search engine is opened, displaying
search results for the entered terms

Actual behavior: currently opened page is reloaded

If before performing step (2) you click anywhere on the page, so that
the focus leaves the text field present on the page, the behavior will
be as expected.
