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

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). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

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