Hi you have to remember that FF in iOS is just out, and still finding its legs. As far as the option to find a word on a page, that might appear in updates as the app gets used more. Its really basic at the minute, even the settings is basic. I have just looked everywhere on my iPad in the FF app and its not there.

This article should help: Search within a web page in Firefox for iOS

Wow, that opened up FF for me, didnt know that existed. I couldnt get that icon to work for ages. Thanks for posting that. :)

@Chris Ilias.......I have searched high and low trying to get to that post by navigating the side bars, and its not possible. It doesnt appear unless your do a search for it. I think its missing from the list on the side of the articles. Can you give directions to that page in order to find it. Thanks.

Well, how surprised I was to see that the answer is the very thing I tried first! It happens that for me that icon simply is not there. Since the article says "These features are available on Firefox version 2.0 or later" I came to check which version I am using and I found out I'm stuck with 1.4. No update is shown in the App Store, I guess it's because I use the Brazilian store. Anyway, thanks for the link, I'll be waiting for the update!
