Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.21; Mac_PowerPC) Build Identifier: 1.2.1 When I was typing the search string faster than the full dialog box could appear, brought initial hang and needed to force quit. On subsequent launches w/out reboot, find in page wouldn't come up at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use quick keys apple+f 2. type before dialog box fully appears 3. watch the spinning beach ball of death Actual Results: i eventually had to force quit Expected Results: i expected the 'find' feature to work at the same speed as my keyboard/typing, as it was in the previous built.
Wfm with 2002121308/Win98SE.

happens for me too version 1.2.1 previous versions were ok related to Bug 184876 on Win2k?
please check if deleting the file XUL.mfasl (or XUL.mfl) in your profile direcoty helps. (Quit mozilla first) Similar: bug 174473
I suspect that asking for the find dialog before the page has completely rendered may also trigger this bug. Eventually I replaced the Application bundle and then I could use find again. I did not replace anything in the profile folder. I could not find an XUL.mfl or XUL.mfasl There is a "XUL FastLoad File" in the profile dir which I have not replaced.
Deleting the XUL fastload file did the trick!
