STR:

  1. In FF, go to http://www.pocketprosolutions.com/980/bis/292/
  2. Type ctrl-f

Actual result:

Nothing. The Find bar should appear, but doesn't.

Edit > Find in This Page works.

Ctrl-f works on other Web pages in the same instance of FF.

Expected result:

Ctrl-f should work.

My concern is whether a script on the page is voiding or repurposing the accelerator and whether other websites will try that. If it is repurposing and not telling us in advance, that could be an especially bad move for users. FF should block that from happening.
