It seems to me that my Control + F is not working correctly. Before, a Find Bar would appear and i could see the words/phrases I was typing and how many matches were found, and it helped navigate the page. Now when I use the Control + F (or the Find on this Page... option) no find bar appears but it still highlights the said words on the page. I just cannot see what i have typed and the Find bar really helped me navigate the pages. Is this due to an update? was the Find Bar removed from Firefox, or is it just me? Any help?

Hi Mark,

did you just try to reinstall firefox? Maybe that will fix the issue.
