Steps to reproduce:

Enter string into find tool

Actual results:

it missed some simple ASCII text that should've matched. it even misses it when the same text is copied to the toolbar. I suspect it's getting confused by the space somehow?

Expected results:

it should find the text without issue because it's simple ASCII. There doesn't appear to be any special formatting, the target text matches "they ", and it doesn't match " won't". The union of these two strings would be "they won't", but for some reason there's something between the space and the "w". I doubt it's a zero-width but don't know how I would check to be sure, so apologies if that's actually the problem.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Find Toolbar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Find Toolbar
Product: Firefox → Toolkit

Can you please share the URL that you were on when you noticed this behaviour?

Flags: needinfo?(shamantr00)

You have "Whole Words" enabled so it won't match "they w" with "they won't".

Redirect a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user to the triage owner.
:enndeakin, since the bug has recent activity, could you have a look please?
