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

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.

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?
