User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 When I view the source of any webpage, either from the toolbar or by pressing Apple-U, I can correctly search the source for a keyword by using the "Find in This Page..." option. I can also correctly find further examples of the keyword by clicking "Find Next" in the "Find in This Page..." dialog. However, if I close/cancel the dialog I am unable to "Find Again" for the same keyword, either by choosing "Edit -> Find Again" or by pressing Apple-G. There is no error message, eg "The text you entered was not found". Instead, the option simply has no apparent effect. The same problem does not exist when searching web pages [ie, when not viewing the source]. When searching web pages, Find Again works as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a webpage such as www.google.com. 2. Choose "View -> Page Source", or press Apple-U. 3. Choose "Edit -> Find in This Page...", or press Apple-F. 4. Enter a search term in the dialog that is known to exist in the source, such as 'google'. 5. Press "Find Next" a few times to verify existence of search term. 6. Press cancel to close dialog. 7. Select "View -> Find Again", or press Apple-G. Actual Results: Nothing. No apparent effect. Expected Results: Located and highlighted further instances of the keyword in the source if present, or returned a "The text you entered was not found" message if not present. There is no apparent effect in either case. This is my first ever bugzilla submisssion, so apologies for any errors or omissions.
