Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0

Steps to reproduce:

Press ctrl+F and enter any of the letters å, ä, or ö.

Actual results:

The letters a and o are marked, in addition to å, ä, and ö.

Tested with Firefox 79 on Ubuntu 20.04 with Swedish locale, and with Firefox 80 on an English version of Windows 10.

Expected results:

Only the entered letters should be marked. Note that å, ä, and ö are distinct letters in the Swedish alphabet with no relation to a and o.

Do you have Match Diacritics enabled?

Oh, I see. I hadn't noticed that feature. Is it new? From a Swedish point of view it's very strange to have it disabled by default.

Perhaps this bug can be closed then.

It was introduced in Firefox 73 by bug 202251.
