Suddenly my "find in page" or "Ctrl F" function from the Firefox menu doesn't work. I can click on it but nothing happens. I never get a place to type in what I want to find. Did I accidentally change something in my Settings? If so, I can't find what it was.The same function in Chrome still works just fine. Please help. Thank you.

Are you possibly using userChrome.css that is broken to style user interface ?

More info about userChrome.css/userContent.css in case you are not familiar:

Not that I am aware of. I never even heard of userChrome.uss. Does just using the Chrome Browser, my very secondary browser only because Firefox can't move between squares in https://freecrosswordpuzzles.com.au/, cause it to activate?

How are you moving between squares? The arrow keys work for me to move between squares.

Try disabling your extensions.
