I click control+F but this function does not work on all sites and can't find matches even though I'm sure that word is on the site, so I have to switch over to Google chrome to use this function instead. Am I doing something wrong? It works sporadically. I took a screenshot of it working and not working. I try the exact same website in chrome and it allows me to search.

Works for me for the site in the first screenshot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
