Find Bar (ctrl+f) problem
Find bar (ctrl+f) neglects the input if it manages to find the word you are typing. As for an example : You want to find the word "troubleshooting" in a page. When you start to write the word, "as long as it is present on that page", firefox finds the word "tro" or "troub" and neglects what you type next. The length of this initial word depends on your typing speed i think (3-4 for me). And when you want to continue writing the word's remaing part, by selecting it with a mouse click or ctrl+f and right arrow, it keeps doing the neglection for each few (1-2) letter you type. It is not a big issue for 4-5 lettered words but after you repeat to type your words 50-60 times in an hour, it becomes annoying.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank your very much for help. An application's updated version was causing the problem. It is named as Fast Video Download (with searchmenu) 4.1.6 I think that "searchmenu" stuff, whatever it is, was causing the problem because i've using that program for a long time without a bug like this.
Thanks again for your time and concern.
