Reporter, 
Are you seeing this in HTML Source view or Normal view, or in the mail editor?

Could Bug 220212 be the problem?  (in Source view, the target search is wrapped
at the end of a line)?

Please Verify with a current Nightly Build.  Your report refers to a build
that's two months old!

I tried to find 192.168.168.1 and replace with 128.1.1.1 in both normal editing
mode and in HMTL source editing mode and it WORKSFORME without a problem. 
Mozilla 1.7alpha build 2003121908 under XP Pro SP1 here.

The "What's New in Mozilla 1.5" notes clearly indicate that find and replace are
doable in HTML source editing mode.

Also bug 76374 was RESOLVED as a DUPLICATE of bug 69329
