The Firefox find function seems to have become CAPS or non-caps specific, so that typing a word in non-caps will not find matching words with one or more capital letter.

The find function seems to have changed in Firefox. Before, when doing a (CTRL + F) find, the search was not CAPS-specific or non-caps-specific. In other words, if I typed in "firefox" (no caps), it would find the words "firefox", Firefox", or "FIREFOX", regardless of capitalization. Now, however, the find function will only match the exact same capitalization. This totally undermines the usefulness of the function, and is a major hassle. Please fix it.

This happened

A few times a week

== I noticed in in the last two or so weeks.

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

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

I am having a similar problem. The following page has the word Dangerfield in several times. My browser will get to Dang and turns pink

Is it my Browser or is there a problem with Mozilla? I have also noted on other Google searches the same problem. Te term is listed in the page but Ctl F will not find the term

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