Quick Find only works once in a Firefox session
Suddenly, "Quick Find" only works the first time I type in a Firefox session. From the second time onward, the Quick Find bar no more appears. I tried clicking on the "/" key, but no good.
I have tried un-check and then check again the "Seacrh for text when I start typing" option. But no good, either.
How can I get it fixed?

I found out why. It's the "Hide Find Bar" add-on that obstructs Quick Find.
Thanks for reaching out, guys.

Have you seen
- searching within a page_quick-find
Try using the single colon ' instead of the slash /
I also note you may still be on Firefox 9, so it may be worth updating to the current firefox 11.
There is also an old article
Try Firefox in safe mode
- no need to make changes in the first window just click on continue.
- if problms continue then whilst in safe mode also ensure you are only using the defult theme, and disable all plugins.
Can you open the Find bar normally via Ctrl+F or isn't that working as well?
