Cannot navigate using typeahead find

Bug Description

I've just upgraded to hoary, and I can no longer navigate using typeahead find
(i.e. just start typing to highlight links). If I install epiphany-extensions,
and enable the "Find" extension, I can get typeahead find to highlight text --
but I cannot use it to select and browse to a link. Hitting Enter with that
extension just goes to the next match, rather following the link like I expected.

This is a regression from warty.

weird than nobody has bugged about this before that's know to be bugged since we
use firefox as backend (typeahed is broken in firefox in fact). BTW I've a patch
ready so it'll be fixed soon

should be fixed with these uploads:

 mozilla-firefox (1.0+dfsg.1-2ubuntu3) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * should fix the typeahead in epiphany-browser.
   * fixed the typeahead conflict with the find extension.
   * debian/rules:
     - added typeaheadfind to the extensions.

 epiphany-browser (1.5.4-0ubuntu2) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/06_typeahead.patch:
     - this with the firefox changes should make working the typeahead again.
