I just emerged Firefox 1.0 PR and the find toolbar doesn't work. The phrase I enter isn't highlighted and the page doesn't scroll to the position of the phrase. Find Next and Find Previous buttons also don't work. Highlight button does highlight phrases. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a page 2. Pres Ctrl+F 3. type a phrase that exists in the Find: field Actual Results: The word you typed and exists in page doesn't highlight and the page isn't scrolled. Expected Results: If the word you typed is found it should be highlighted in green and the page should scroll. If the phrase is not found there should be a warning. Find Next/Previous buttons should work.

I'm not sure but maybe this could be related to this bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251543
I see this also. In addition the find as you type feature does not work. I noticed however that the find toolbar then highlight function does work.
Bug 64196 has a solution. Edit /usr/portage/eclass/mozilla.eclass and remove "typeaheadfind" from the line: myext="cookie,inspector,negotiateauth,pref,transformiix,typeaheadfind,universalchardet,webservices,xmlextras,xml-rpc" then rebuild firefox.

WARNING: this suggestion i am making *will* dump all your settings extensions etc. etc. for firefox my proposed workaround: delete or move the old ~/.mozilla/firefox start firefox edit | preferences: advanced::Accessibility; Use Find As You Type [enabled] as i recall, that was all i had to do.
