491: Firefox "Quick Find" shortcut key of "/" doesn't work

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
Any diff viewed in firefox 2.0.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Desire to find identifier "foo" in the diff.
2. Type "/" to bring up the "Quick Find" box.
3. Continue typing "foo" and instead of firefox searching for it the screen
bounces around.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the "Quick Find" box to pop up at the bottom of firefox, and then
the first instance matching "foo" to come into focus in the window.  Then 
ctrl-G should find the next instance.  A workaround is ctrl-F to bring up
the normal "Find" box, but IMHO "/" is much more natural (since I use gvim).
Instead of seeing what I expect, I don't see the search box and some of my
keystrokes are being interpreted as cmds by reviewboard, causing the screen
to bounce up and down as I type away in blissful ignorance of the failure
of my search cmd.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Windows XPsp2 and OpenSUSE 10.3 Linux


Please provide any additional information below.
I couldn't find a list of shortcut keys for reviewboard (are they any other
than n & p?).

Hopefully we're just doing something dumb. I can't imagine this would be too hard.
