Hi! I have a weird problem with the browser's search bar. It finds only full words: for example, if I write there only 'prob' it says phrase not found, but if I write 'problem' it gets a hit on this page.

There is an option on the Find bar to match only whole words. Example screenshot attached. Is that turned on on your Firefox?

It sounds like you probably have the Whole Words option enabled. On the find bar, there is a Whole Wordsoption. If you click that, it should change to be the same colour as the rest of the bar.

Hope this helps.
