Screenshot on Nexus 1, Android 2.3.6, Firefox 8 beta
Testing the new opt-in search suggestions on Firefox 8, Android 2.3.6, Nexus 1.
Going into the search box and typing "some", I expect it to start loading up suggestions... but I see nothing.
Typing another space to make sure the whole word has left the IME, nothing.
Hitting backspace.... now it starts looking things up. Weird?
Version: unspecified

All other browsers I've tried have behaved as I expect: iOS 5 Safari, Opera Mobile 11.50 & Android stock browser on Android 2.3.8.
It looks like this is an issue in Firefox - this bug [1] seems similar, as we too are using the keyup event to trigger suggestion which is apparently a duplicate of this bug [2]
