See attachment.

Searching for "aa-lib gallery" in the tagsoup html example fails.
It succeeds on the xhtml strict version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the tagsoup html attachment
2 [review]. Look for "aa-lib gall"
Actual Results:  
The text is not found

Expected Results:  
The find should succeed and the text highlighted.

Try the following:
1) After the search fails, tab to the galleries url and press F3 - the search will succeed.
2) 
a) Add another entry: "aa-lib galleries" below the "gallery" one.
b) search for "aa-lib galler" - the second one will be found. F3 will have no effect, but shift+F3 will select the previous link correctly.
c) more shift+f3 searches will wrap correctly to the bottom of the page, while f3 won't wrap at all.

Confirmed with Firefox trunk on Mac.  Weird!

I wouldn't call your testcase "tag soup".  That term is normally reserved for pages with misnested tags, block-in-inline, and other nonsense.

The most similar bug report I can find is bug 336279.

Yeah, this is the same as bug 336279, I'm going to attach a patch there that fixes that bug (and also this bug).
