WFM on a 2003-11-18 WinXP build.
QA Contact: bugzilla
I see this with the latest (11-16) windows build on winXP, and the latest Mac
and Linux builds as well.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
This broke on Nov 15th sometime (I think). It doesn't seem to affect SeaMonkey
at all. Pierre was the main Firebird checker-in on the 15th. This impacts Mac,
Win, and Linux.

I substantially rewrote the find in page functionality. That should be fixed,
but please verify.

Unable to verify as the latest build I can find is Gecko/20031116 Firebird/0.7+

CANNOT verify:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031121
Firebird/0.7+ (03hrs - Mike Tigas (Nova); MNG,DOMi; O2,G6;)

I cannot open "Find in this page..." by choosing the Menu item "Edit". That does
nothing. Only the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F brings up the dialog.
That doesn't seem to be the original problem, I think that regressed from
Pierre's fix.
I just fixed the "Find in Page" and "Find Again" menuitem. Bernd is right, I
introduced this regression.

Still not working for me Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031121 Firebird/0.7+
Doesn't function through the upper-right text box or the CTRL-F shortcut.  Going
Edit>Find in This Page or Find Again doesn't even bring up the dialog.

JS Console error - Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned
failure code: 0x80570018 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_IID) [nsIJSCID.getService]"

Why is the status of this bug RESOLVED FIXED???
Reopening: two reproductions with today's build (comment 16 and comment 17), one
from the original reporter of this bug.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Dunno if this is the correct but, but with Gecko/20031121 Firebird/0.7+, when 
i use find as you type F3 doesn't work when i wanna continue searching on a 
page.
For me everything works well now.

I can access the dialog via the menu and I can search with it.

thanks pierre

"Find in This Page" doesn't work for me either.

I noticed people saying it was fixed, actually that's why I have waited a while
for a new nightly build testing.
My build was the one with the installer.

I think there are duplicate bugs because the original poster wrote on instead of
in...
is this bug only happening with the installer build?
I am using an installer build (20031122) and this does not work.
what is needed here is to take the same day build without the installer (the zip
file), and see if it works or not.
This issue appears to be occuring only with the Installer version.  Tested using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031124
Firebird/0.7+

This is certainly an 0.8 blocker if we're going to feature the istaller in 0.8.

Still not working with 20031125 build.
Tested in 20031126 build. While problem is still there, the Up/Down buttons are
visible in W2k Pro now.
Ben checked in a fix a few minutes ago.
Could someone please verify this with tomorrow's installer build.

I'll be happy to check. Any idea when it will be posted? 20031129 is current
installer posted to ftp site.
Tested with 20031130 installer (18:02 build) and it WORKS!!

Method:
1 - Installed program and did Ctl-F
2 - Entered "spolsky" for search parameter, with Down chosen. Spolsky found.
3 - Hightlighted some text farther down the page
4 - Entered "spolsky" for search parameter, with Up chosen. Spolsky found.
5 - Repeated Steps 1, 2/4 testing "match case" parameter. Passed tests
6 - Clicked EDIT|FIND IN THIS PAGE, repeated Steps 2/4. Passed tests.
7 - Repeated Steps 1, 2/4 with "mozilla" as search parameter. Found all the
Mozilla entries, and stopped at end or beginning of page
8 - Repeated Step 7 with Wrap chosen. Wrapped as expected.

Dont know if this is the correct bug to ask about this, but when I do a search
(for example the word "orga" at mozilla.org) with find as you type, I find
something and press F3 (there are no more hits), the status bar will say:
"Text found "orga" - next match"

Shouldnt it say something about that there are not more "orga" words in this page?
I just tried the F3 function you mentioned, and it stops at the bottom of
20031130  build, which is the version I tested the bug in for Simon.
Double-check your build in HELP|About Mozilla Firebird. There will be a build
date in there.
Sorry, I wasnt clear in my last comment. I meant http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

1. use find as you type and type in "orga", the beginning of the word 
organization will be selected.
2. Now press F3, there are no more matches, I would expect to see "no more 
matches" or whatever, instead I now see
"Text found "orga" - next match"

Which I find to be confusing, and if i remember correct this wasnt like this 
before. Using build 20031201.
