(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Newman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When using "Find in This Page", the find doesn't search within open text boxes
(it does in IE). 

This is one feature that keeps me stuck using IE at work :(. (I routinely have
to search within text boxes/text fields in our Web-based CMS) 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  In Yahoo! Mail (or Bugzilla), compose a long email message (or bug description)
2.  Hit Ctrl+F and do a find on a word in the open text field
Actual Results:  
Dialog box reads, "The text you entered was not found."

Expected Results:  
Located the word/phrase/characters within the text box and highlighted

I don't know a lot about bugs or if mozilla dups apply to firebird, but I think
this could be a duplicate of bug #58305

Yes, it's a duplicate. Fixing it in the Mozilla suite would solve it in Firebird.
