Pressing CTRL + F does nothing on any webpage. Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 7Professional 64 bit.
As stated above when I press CTRL + F to search for text on a webpage, the search/find box never appears. Even going to edit and hitting find doesnt do anything.
I can press CTRL C, V, A, etc and they all work.

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the find bar falls off at the bottom of the window.
- Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
- Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).
If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
If the above didn't help then see:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
