I'm troubleshooting xml in firefox. I noticed that CTRL -F find on page does not work for finding strings "reliably". Sometimes it finds something and sometimes it doesn't. "Strings that are there"..

You can find next, next, if it worked, but then if you find previous it will fail at some point. (View source, find on page) works though.. but not a native page.

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