For the last few weeks when I use "find on this page" it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it will find the first 2 letters and then say that the word can't be found. I have even put in words that I can see on the page and it says that they don't exist. Even after it has located the first 2 letters. It seems like the problem exists usually between the second and third letter of search.

I am finding this particularly annoying as I am doing internet research and may have a gigantic document that I may only need 1 phrase from and it is making it so that I have to read the entire document. Usually very interesting but REALLY slowing me down.

Is it possible that I have accidentally changed a setting or something?

Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Edit > Find or Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

I just looked at it and there is no check mark, that would have been a nice easy answer. Thanks for try!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
