Bug#544973: iceweasel: URL completion / history search sometimes unavailable

I have just noticed something: I don't even have to _click_ in the
address bar to make it come to senses.  I just have to move the pointer
so it is over the address bar.

I am pretty sure this has to do with iceweasel trying to track the mouse
movements in the drop-down list of completions and keep the selection in
that list following the mouse.  IMHO this is a misfeature to begin with; if
a menu or completion list results from typing, only keyboard interaction
should apply.  Otherwise there is going to be random unwated interaction
depending on where the mouse starts.

Also, this may be related or even the same as #281859.
