[Bug 368956] [NEW] page search with frames fails to use frame with focus.

[Glen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When searching a site that uses frames ff doesn't always use the frame that has the focus. For example, it is difficult for me to search the main frame when browsing javadocs. I often must open the frame I want to search as a stand-alone tab. 
 Ubuntu 8.04- the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008.

firefox:
  Installed: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
  Candidate: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.0.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0

     3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0

I would expect FF page search to follow the selected frame.
