Bug Description
Expected behavior:
I leave my computer with firefox up. Lock screen enables automatically. I come back, unlock, and type a letter into the firefox address bar. It autocompletes and I am taken to the appropriate page.
Actual behavior:
Upon unlocking the screen, the autocomplete bar does nothing. Minimizing and unminimizing firefox fixes this problem.
Fairly trivial, but a daily nuisance.

Using the following method, I am _not_ able to reproduce this on natty:
1. Click in URL bar
2. Select all
3. Delete URL contents
4. Lock Screen
5. Move mouse pointer
6. Enter password + enter
7. type 'l' in already-focused URL bar
This offers me 'lwn.net/daily', which is what I would expect. Please could you provide instructions that allow reproducing the bug (this would be at least as detailed as those shown here).
