For example if I search for "the" I get 0 results even thou there is lots of "the" on the page I'm searching.

If I search for "th" it will find the correct results.

Make sure that you haven't set a context menu in the "Match case" box on the Find bar (Ctrl+F).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
