Firefox 1.04 and Strange Find Behavior

| For the last few days every once in awhile the "find" function goes
nuts.
I can be on a page that requires input into one of their boxes like
when placing an order. After the first letter is typed and I go to
type the second letter it thinks I am doing a find. The find pane on
the bottom of the screen appears and I am stuck.
I am running no extensions and it happens randomly with different
sites. The last one was on amazon.com.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I get the same problem from time to time. When it happens, I go in to
advanced settings and uncheck the "begin finding when you begin typing"
option. Hit OK to close and apply settings, go back in and recheck it
(because I like that function). This usually clears up the crazy
behaviour with forms for awhile.

Thanks Joe for the reply.
I shall give it a try the next time that happens and that has been
with great regularity now. :-((((
Strange thing is it never happened before.
Thanks again.

| I had the same behaviour but I used another method. Just try to switch
the aplication from FF to another and go back. It works fine on my XP Home.

Now this is really fascinating. I tried your way and it works fine on
XP Pro as well. Ceratinly much easier this way.
Thanks RalphOcean.

| By the way it must be a bug inside FF concerning this search function.
