Weird FireFox issue

This just started today, anyone else experience it?

Go to a page, hit CTRL-f to find a word.
First letter goes in fine
Second (and subsequest) letters go red as if there is no match, but if I hit Find Next, the matches come up.

Anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you remedy it?

works fine for me...

Was there an update in the last 24 hours?

That's a strange one... doesn't do that for me.
1.5.0.7 for me.

Just read this...

Two hackers have detailed a serious security flaw in the Firefox web browser that would enable attackers to gain control of any computer running the Internet Explorer rival regardless the underlying operating system.

According to Mischa Spiegelmock and Andrew Wbeelsoi, who gave a detailed presentation at the ToorCon hacker conference in San Diego on Saturday, the vulnerability is not able to be patched unless Mozilla rewrites key sections of its JavaScript code.

The two hackers gave a detailed presentation on stage showing a slide with key information on how to exploit the vulnerability. They said that a hacker could gain control of a computer which visits a web page containing malicious JavaScript code.

Mozilla is taking the presentation seriously and is reportedly annoyed at the way the hackers disclosed the exploit in enough detail for a hacker to repoduce it.

What was even more disturbing to Mozilla is that Spiegelmock and Wbeelsoi claim to have knowledge of about 30 Firefox vulnerabilities and have no intention of responsibly disclosing them to Mozilla.

It seems that the US$500 a flaw bounty that Mozilla is willing to pay hackers who find genuine vulnerabilities was not enough incentive to dissuade the two hackers from contributing to the sort of environment that forces internet users to be wary of what sites they visit.

Not sure if it is germane to your issue, but since it is a FF problem, thought you might be interested.

Stop searching for "gay felching" on every page you visit :)

OK bad joke, I tried the search on FF 1.5.0.7 and it works fine for me.

Funny, my biggest problems have taken a court action to be rid of them.
