The Find function rarely finds what I search for, even when I can see it on the page where I'm searching.
The question says it all. It used to work just fine, but it ceased to function properly with the last few updates.
I'm on an iMac running OS X 10.6.8, Firefox 28. I had the same problem with 27.0.1 and the update before it.

Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Command + F) doesn't have a checkmark.
It doesn't.
