'find' function is not operating: neither Ctrl-F nor thru Firefox menu
Newly installed Firefox running on Windows Vista Home Premium.
Recently formatted hard disk - run on clean machine.
Never had this issue in years of use
Chosen solution
Do you see the Find bar (Ctrl F) or the Add-ons bar (Ctrl /) if you open them?
It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Did not help: started in Safe Mode, tried to go to themes but all themes are disabled in Save Mode.
Tried Ctrl-F on two separate pages - still disabled.
