Firefox is unable to find (Ctrl + F) some text inside HTML tables, like in http://www.dip-badajoz.es/bop/ventana_anuncio.php?id_anuncio=22714&FechaSolicitada=2008-02-20 If you try to search"Solano", Firefox will not find any matches, but "Solano" is there. This work fine on Chrome, for example.

Thank you

Chosen solution

I'm also on Linux, but if I start a Firefox 6 version via Wine the I don't have a problem with a search for "Solano"


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

Thank you cor-el. That's not the problem, cause I usually don't check "Match case". This problem happened on two Windows 7 computers. I'm just now using my OpenSUSE 11.4 and works fine, so I think is operating system related (Windows + Firefox).

Thank you
