When you open some XML document and start searching it works only until you reach the very last occurrence of searched term. After that you cannot even get back to previously found occurrences and have to go to the top of document, click there to restore the search functionality.

Well, there is a workaround to search in the xml. Open xml in FF, open the page source (Ctrl + U) and search in it.

This bug has been in Firefox at least for four years by now, at least since I remember. Maybe it would be a good time to fix it when there's a release almost every single minute and we'll run out of numbers soon :)
