Eh? what happened there then?

Was just posting on another topic, managed to catch a wrong key, and a pinky red task bar opened up at the bottom of my browser, as I continued to type, a musical note was heard for eack key stroke and the pinky coloured task bar said 'searching' and I swear in the text box it was trying to do some sort of predictive text thingy using previously cut & pasted text. Then it cleared.

I use Mozilla Firefox, havent seen this before. Weird.

Another really useful firefox shorcut is 'F6'. It takes the cursor between the main window and the URL bar.
