Find in Firefox

Hey all,

Not sure how much of a power surfer you are.  But personally when I am looking for specific information, will often load a page and use the old "trusted" CTRL+F and find key words that I am looking for.  This is a daily thing for me.   I have been using Firefox 3.x with a theme installed.  Chrome theme to be specific.  Recently after a minor update the find never found anything.  It would just draw blanks.

So I figured this was a result of the update and I patiently waited for another update.  Today was the day.  I was looking forward to my find function again.  After update, I immediately sunk my fingers to the CTRL+F and searched for words that were in my sight.   Nadda.

With disappointment I began to Google this to see of others have had my misfortune.  I learned that this was an issue in earlier version 1 Firefox releases.  But I could not find much on version 3.x.  So I began to trouble shoot this.  Let me save you all some time.  Folks, kill your theme if you have this issue and you will see that the happy key strokes work fine.  Firefox was finding once again!!! 

Just thought I would share that with you all and save you the hassle.

Have a good day folks, and happy finding.
