Hi John Sorry for being unclear - I meant the bug appears if Firebug is Enabled as an Add-On, even if Firebug is not active - i.e. I have NOT clicked on the bug icon bottom right of the window.
I posted it as a bug on BugZilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567778 they said its a Firebug problem, not a Firefox problem. Its very clearly Firebug - if I disable the AddOn the problem goes away. I don't have a new profile to create this in - and nothing is appearing in the Error Console. I guess its up to you and the Firefox people if you want to bat it back and forth as each other's problem. - Mitra > > > > > Topic: Bug - disables Firefox 3.6.4's > search<http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/t/cbd7ca92130e4954> > > Mitra Ardron <[email protected]> May 25 09:47AM -0700 > ^<#128d581646281a86_digest_top> > > See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567778 > > User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en- > GB; > rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100513 Firefox/3.6.4 > Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en- > GB; > rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100513 Firefox/3.6.4 > > If Firebug is turned on, then Search is broken > > > Reproducible: Always > > Steps to Reproduce: > 1.Install and enable Firebug > 2.Don't activate it, i.e. you shouldn't be seeing the firebug panel at > the > bottom of the window. > 3.Edit/Find > 4.Start typing a phrase > 5.It starts searching in the page - keep typing > 5.At some point the phrase gets cleared and new characters entered, > and the > search starts searching JUST these new characters. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Firebug" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > [email protected]<firebug%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/firebug?hl=en. > > > > > John J Barton <[email protected]> May 25 09:57AM -0700 > ^<#128d581646281a86_digest_top> > > > 2.Don't activate it, i.e. you shouldn't be seeing the firebug panel > at > > the > > bottom of the window. > > But above you said ...If Firebug is turned on...??? > > 5.At some point the phrase gets cleared and new characters entered, > > and the > > search starts searching JUST these new characters. > > I tried this in FF 3.6.5pre and I saw no problem. > > Based on how Firebug works, I think this is not very likely to turn > out to be a Firebug bug. Could be a FF 3.6.4 issue on Mac?
