    Find As You Type Problem

Since downloading the update last week I occasionally run into
a problem - I click into a text box on a form on a webpage and
start typing, and it keeps bringing up the Find As You Type
window, I click back in the box, but whenever I type it brings
it up again...

To solve the problem (temporarily) I have to go into options
and uncheck the automatic Find As You Type option, then turn
it back on after.

I would give you a specific site that this is happening, but
it happens all over the place, there seems to be no rhyme or
reason to it, it just happens sometimes, and sometimes not.

Anyone else had this problem?

Not entirely sure on what you want to occur.

If you dont want Find as you type, then turn it off, as you have been
doing.  If you do want it, then leave it on.

I leave it off for example.

I think his point is find as you type pops up not only in "normal" text
on webpages, but also when he tries to fill out a form.

start ff in safe mode, if that doesn't fix it then uninstall and
reinstall.  that happens to me occasionally too.

What am I doing with this? Your problem may be familiar to you, it is
your problem after all, but I see multiple dozens of problems in the
newsgroups a day. Some context would be of asset
