I'm not sure which Firefox I have, but I use it on my laptop (not an Apple). I frequently use the Find Bar under edit. Yesterday it stopped working...would not open.

Do you still see the Status Bar (View > Status Bar) ?

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.

If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.
